Lasting s-ketamine block of spreading depolarizations in subarachnoid hemorrhage: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract Objective Spreading depolarizations (SD) are characterized by breakdown of transmembrane ion gradients and excitotoxicity. Experimentally, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists block a majority of SDs. In many hospitals, the NMDAR antagonist s-ketamine and the GABAA agonist mida...
