Such action is need because of unacceptable regulatory and ethical lapses in the oversight and conduct of the two prospective clinical trials that involved testing the safety and effectiveness of the general anesthetic ketamine compared with those of other potent sedative drugs for management of prehospital agitation.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/public_citizen_shared_link.jpg1200628
