TechnicalRegister
A dissociative anaesthetic acting mainly at NMDA receptors, prized for preserving airway tone and cardiovascular stability.
Ketamine was selected for the shocked trauma patient because it supports rather than depresses blood pressure.
Rarity runs from 0 (a word everyone knows) to 100 (almost never seen outside specialist or literary writing). Level is the word's real difficulty on the CEFR scale, from A1 to C2.
