💉 Home-Based vs Clinic-Based Ketamine Treatment Simulator

Sublingual Ketamine at Home

Placeholder: home troches offer convenience with reduced direct oversight.

• Sublingual: Route (Placeholder short note)
• ~30%: Bioavailability (Placeholder short note)
• ~2 hrs: Session length (Placeholder short note)
• None: Staff present (Placeholder short note)

Home dosing overview

Placeholder: patient self-administers under a remote check-in schedule.

Placeholder: home dosing trades supervision for accessibility.

Limits of Remote Supervision

Placeholder: a screen cannot check pulse or catch a fall in time.

• Minutes: Response lag (Placeholder short note)
• None/self: Vitals capture (Placeholder short note)
• Moderate: Dissociation risk (Placeholder short note)
• Call 911: Escalation path (Placeholder short note)

Supervision gap

Placeholder: video oversight misses physical vitals entirely.

Placeholder: remote monitoring is a safety compromise.

Clinic-Based Intravenous Ketamine

Placeholder: IV infusion allows precise, titratable dosing control.

• Intravenous: Route (Placeholder short note)
• 100%: Bioavailability (Placeholder short note)
• ~40 min: Session length (Placeholder short note)
• Full team: Staff present (Placeholder short note)

Clinic infusion overview

Placeholder: staff titrate the dose live while watching vitals.

Placeholder: clinic IV gives maximal real-time control.

Continuous In-Person Vitals Monitoring

Placeholder: monitors track BP, heart rate and oxygen throughout.

• Every 5 min: BP checks (Placeholder short note)
• Continuous: SpO2 (Placeholder short note)
• Optional: ECG (Placeholder short note)
• Immediate: Alert response (Placeholder short note)

Monitoring protocol

Placeholder: staff intervene the moment a reading looks abnormal.

Placeholder: real-time vitals catch problems early.

Weighing Safety Against Access

Placeholder: safest choice depends on patient risk and access needs.

• Home OK: Low-risk patients (Placeholder short note)
• Clinic best: High-risk patients (Placeholder short note)
• Home lower: Cost (Placeholder short note)
• Clinic higher: Oversight (Placeholder short note)

Choosing a setting

Placeholder: match monitoring level to individual patient risk.

Placeholder: no single setting fits every patient.
