The developments in the case of the death of the three children in Patras are cataclysmic, after the intervention of the prosecutor and the prosecution against the mother.
The key point in the research was the detection of the substance ketamine in Georgia’s body. What is the substance ketamine?
THE Ketamine used in veterinary medicine as an anesthetic and sedative. It is not freely available in pharmacies, except in hospitals, after a medical order. Note that the mother of three children from Patras, was a nurse.
In small doses it does not cause side effects to the heart or respiratory system. In large doses, however, it causes convulsions, bradycardia or tachycardia and in other cases death.
Psychiatric side effects are common as well as high blood pressure and nausea. Liver and urinary toxicity are common in regular users of high doses of ketamine for recreational purposes. Ketamine is an antagonist of NMDA receptors and it is responsible for most of its actions in addition to its antidepressant action, the mechanism of which is the subject of much research and discussion.
Ketamine was first synthesized in 1962 and approved for use in the United States in 1970. It was used regularly in dogs and horses and was used extensively for surgical anesthesia during the Vietnam War. Ketamine is also used as a recreational drug, both in powder and liquid form, often referred to as the “Special K” for its hallucinogenic and disruptive effects.
