| dc.description.abstract | In reply,We read Payandemehr's letter with great interest and thank you forthe opportunity to respond to the comments. In our study,1 whichcompared two different doses of intravenous (IV) ketamine (0.5 mg/kgvs. 1 mg/kg) for procedural sedation in adults, the incidence of re-covery agitation was 20.4% in patients who received 0.5 mg/kg and22.2% in those who received 1 mg/kg. In contrast, Payandemehret al.1 reported a recovery agitation incidence of 63.9% in the 1 mg/kg group, measured using the Pittsburgh Agitation Scale (PAS). Inthe same study,2 they defined clinically significant agitation as a PASscore ≥3 in at least one dimension, which was observed in 26.2% ofpatients. We agree with the factors proposed by Payandemehr toexplain the discrepancy in recovery agitation rates across studies.One key difference is the assessment tools used: we employed theRichmond Agitation–Sedation Scale (RASS), whereas Payandemehret al. used PAS. This alone may contribute to variation in reportedrecovery agitation rates. | |
