Lone Star Infusion Ketamine infusion clinic was started to safely provide ketamine as a life-changing treatment option for patients in the Houston area.
Ketamine is a well-known and powerful anesthetic agent that can also provide rapid relief to patients with severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, CRPS, chronic neuropathic pain, and other debilitating conditions. Lone Star Infusion was established as the first Ketamine Infusion Clinic in the greater Houston area. Lone Star Infusion is run by Anesthesiologists, with extensive knowledge of this anesthetic and how to use the medication to provide real, direct, and profound benefit to people who need it.
Anesthesiologist, work with ketamine in the operating room frequently. In anesthesiology, we routinely use ketamine in order to decrease the amount of narcotics patients will need after major surgery. It prevents or decreases the tolerance that patients can develop to opioids and is also a potent painkiller in and of itself. In very sick patients, it allows us to use less of the medicines to keep them asleep that can lower blood pressure and heart rate. In pregnant patients it allows us to give sedation without a high risk of them not breathing on their own. We can also use ketamine to sedate a patient, keep them breathing, and painlessly place breating tubes into high-risk patients. Intramuscular ketamine allows us to sedate children and combative patients to enable us to start an IV so that we can give other medications. In short, ketamine is a wonderfully useful anesthetic medicine.
Over the last 20 years, research has increasingly found ketamine to useful for psychiatry and chronic pain patients. The results presented in the articles are amazing; 75% of patients receiving benefits, pain patients whose pain resolved completely, suicidal patients who are no longer suicidal, severely treatment resistant patients who are suddenly feeling normal for the first time. Results from scientific papers rarely look this good. Drug effectiveness studies are usually happy to get above the placebo rate of around 30%.
Prior to the establishment of Lone Star Infusion Ketamine Clinic, there was not a single treatment center in the greater Houston area offering patients ketamine infusion therapy! Lone Star Infusion was started to fulfil this unmet need. LSI provides treatment for patients who truly needed it: the severely depressed, the severely suicidal, the severe chronic pain patients, those suffering from severe PTSD and more! Lone Star Infusion is here for our fellow Houstonians and beyond!
Lone Star Infusion Ketamine Infusion Clinic is a practice dedicated to excellent care and evidence-based medicine and focused on comfort and safety. We work as partners with patients and their physicians and therapists to provide infusion therapies.
Providing IV Ketamine infusions, and other infusion therapies, is extremely rewarding. Lone Star Infusion is pleased to be able to help patients receive relief from acute symptoms. If you, or your patient, or someone you know might benefit from the infusion therapies, please contact Lone Star Infusion.
