Default Pumps

Hi Molly,
That was a great article. I hope people get a chance to try this for pain control.
However, it addressed IV morphine and ketamine which is very different than an implanted pump. I just wanted everyone to be aware of the difference. I've never heard of Ketamine used in an intrathecal pump which places medication directly into the epidural space. The medication given this way is 100 times stronger than taking it orally. I hope this clarifies the difference. Hope
