- Cardiovascular System. With ketamine there is an increase in both blood pressure and heart rate. This usually reaches a maximum about 2 minutes after injection and settles over 15 – 20 minutes. There is wide variation in individual response and occasionally there can be a large rise in blood pressure.etamine would be an ideal anaesthetic agent in this case due to its cardiovascular effects of raising the blood pressure and heart rate, all other anaesthetic agents tend to have a cardiac depressant effect. Induction can be performed with iv ketamine (1-2mg/kg), atropine (10-20mcg/kg) and diazepam (0.1mg/kg).
