[1]These data reflect self-reported incidents of ketamine administrations from waivered EMS agencies in Colorado. Administration of
ketamine is a waivered act for Paramedics for the following indications: Rapid Sequence Intubation, Pain, and Excited Delirium and/or
Extreme or Profound Agitation, and must be reported to the state's reporting system annually. These data only reflect waivered Ketamine
administrations for Excited Delirium and/or Extreme or Profound Agitation. Ketamine administration falls within EMS Scope of Practice for
Paramedics with a Critical Care Endorsement, and therefore does not require submission of incidents to this dataset.
