Read MoreAUTHORS: Vincent, Kathleen F. PhD et al Anesthesia & Analgesia August 07, 2024. BACKGROUND: Dexmedetomidine and ketamine have long elimination half-lives in humans and have no clinically approved reversal agents. Methylphenidate enhances dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission by inhibiting reuptake transporters for these arousal-promoting neurotransmitters. Previous studies in rats demonstrated that intravenous methylphenidate induces emergence from […]
