ERRATA

Correction

In the December 2003 issue, in the brief report by Taniguchi et al., "The Dose-Related Effects of Ketamine on Mortality and Cytokine Responses to Endotoxin-Induced Shock in Rats" (Anesth Analg 2003;97:1769–72), the abstract was omitted. The publisher regrets the error. The abstract is reproduced below:
In our previous study, ketamine administration was found to inhibit hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and cytokine responses in endotoxemia. However, only a few studies have indicated whether ketamine has the dose-related beneficial effects after endotoxin injection. Our objective was to clarify the dose-related effects of ketamine on mortality and cytokine responses to endotoxemia in rats. Sixty-five rats were divided at random among five equal groups: Group C was given saline alone. Group E was given endotoxin alone (Escherichia coli endotoxin; 10 mg/kg, IV). Group L received a low dose of ketamine (5 mg · kg-1 · h-1, IV), Group M a medium dose of ketamine (10 mg · kg-1 · h-1, IV), and Group H a high dose of ketamine (20 mg · kg-1 · h-1, IV), all exposure to endotoxin. After endotoxin injection, hemodynamics, acid-base status, mortality rate, and plasma concentrations of tumor necrosis factor {alpha} and interleukin 6 were assessed for each of the five groups. Endotoxin injection produced progressive hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and a large increase in plasma cytokine concentrations. Mortality rates 8 h after endotoxin injection were 0% for group C, 92% for group E, 48% for group L, 0% for group M, and 32% for group H. Ketamine administration thus clearly had a beneficial effect on mortality rates, with that for group M lower than for groups L and H (P < 0.05). The cytokine responses to endotoxin were somewhat suppressed in group M but not in group L. Ketamine administration dose-independently inhibited hypotension, metabolic acidosis, and cytokine responses in rats injected with endotoxin. (Anesth Analg 2003;97:1769–72)
