You can then schedule your ketamine infusions. Most patients will require 6 infusions over 3 weeks.
Infusion day
Wear comfortable clothes. You will be escorted to an serene, individual infusion room with amenities to make you feel at ease, including a zero gravity recliner, noise cancelling headphones, ipad with Spotify to play the music of your choice, eye mask, and a weighted or non-weighted blanket.
An IV line will be placed to administer your infusion. We will be monitoring your cardiac rhythm, pulse, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. You will not be disturbed during your infusion, but you will be observed.
You will be awake during the infusion, but in a state of deep relaxation.
The appointment will take approximately 2 hours. The infusion will take about an hour. We monitor you after your infusion until you are safe to go home.
You will need someone to accompany you to the appointment and to drive you home after your treatment.
