Ketamine

Doc,

Have you ever used ketamine for induction in asthma patients who need to be tubed. Seems like it would be great option in the field drug box. Puts the patient into a dissociative state and doesn't really impare respiration. The bronchodilatory effects of the ketamine should also be helpful
