OUR APPROACH
Better Patient Monitoring – Caretaker Medical
Ketamine Infusion Therapy is very safe, but it is not without risks. We utilize the Caretaker monitoring system, an advanced form of patient monitoring that allows us to better monitor heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation second by second.
The Caretaker monitoring system is designed to be minimally stimulating. It is a simple finger cuff that measures pulse pressures, as opposed to an arm cuff that squeezes and clicks, potentially compromising the patient’s comfort during treatment. Safe, secure, and accurate patient monitoring is important so that our providers can intervene before any problematic events could occur. We always ensure that the patients are constantly supervised during every part of Ketamine Infusion Therapy.
Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Patients under the influence of ketamine are very suggestible. The ideal dosages can make stimulation uncomfortable and difficult to tolerate. Therefore, we subscribe to the best practice method of Minimally Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT). MSKIT utilizes optimal dosing, which is why our outcomes exceed those of other clinics in the region.
MSKIT offers an environment that minimizes stimulation which will assist the brain in reaching a theta wave state and facilitate an ideal stimulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) release. This process, referred to as neuro-optimization, is why Ketamine Infusion Therapy works.
At Scenic City Neurotherapy, NAD+ is a key component of the MSKIT protocol for mood disorders and chronic pain conditions. NAD+ is a coenzyme found in every cell in your body and is essential for creating cellular energy and maintaining cellular health. Ketamine creates neuroplasticity, while NAD+ increases the amount of biologic compounds your body and brain need to function optimally.
Steady State Administration
At Scenic City Neurotherapy, we utilize syringe infusion pumps that allow perfect dosing and administration to ensure infusion quality is the highest standard. We caution against alternative administration methods such as an IV drip because of the irregular and unpredictable administration. Steady-state administration is key to reaching and maintaining therapeutic blood levels. Our best-practice methods ensure our patients reach therapeutic blood levels that are necessary for successful remission of symptoms and comfort of treatment.
Private Rooms
Scenic City Neurotherapy has developed a relaxing, low-stimulation environment that enhances the patient’s outcome. Since Ketamine Infusion Therapy is a very personal and private experience, we provide every patient with a private treatment room for the duration of their visit. We encourage our patients to use the provided headphones that play gentle rhythms to support a pleasant experience during the infusion. We turn off the overhead lights leaving soft lamp light illuminating the room. We provide eye masks for those that prefer no light during treatment.
We always schedule appointments with enough time for the infusion prep, the ketamine infusion, and plenty of recovery time. Most patients are fully recovered within 20-30 minutes after the infusion, but we allow our patients as much time as they need. We will make sure you are ready and safe after your infusion before we let your driver take you home.
NAD+
NAD+ is a key component in the Minimally-Stimulated Ketamine Infusion Therapy (MSKIT) Protocols for mood disorders and chronic pain conditions. This coenzyme is found in every cell in your body and is essential for creating cellular energy and maintaining cellular health. NAD+ contributes to longevity by maintaining the length of your telomeres, or the DNA at the ends of chromosomes—like the plastic tip of a shoelace.
Since the 1960s, NAD+ has been used to minimize symptoms and shorten the duration of opioid, benzodiazepine, and antidepressant withdrawal. It is proven to slow or prevent cognitive decline with age, and it is even FDA approved to treat chronic fatigue.
The MSKIT protocols include adjuncts like NAD+ to bolster the benefits of the primary treatment. Ketamine creates neuroplasticity, while NAD+ increases the amount of biologic compounds your body and brain need to function optimally. At Scenic City Neurotherapy, we are committed to maximizing your investment, which is why our outcomes exceed those of other clinics in the region and beyond.
