Intraoperative low-dose ketamine infusion has been reported to be an effective adjuvant to opioids for postoperative pain control without major side effects, but it has not been tested in video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of low-dose intraoperative intravenous ketamine infusion on 24-hour morphine requirement and acute postoperative pain following VATS for lung resection.
