Respiratory depression is usually seen with the use of a single, intravenous dose in an opioid-naive patient. In patients taking opioids regularly for pain relief, tolerance to respiratory depression occurs rapidly, so that it is not a clinical problem.
As JAV's products are non-opioid, i would imagine that respiratory depression will be of less risk. However, ketamine does stim opioid mu receptors- but only at high doses that are used to induce anesthesia. It is of interest that ketamine often has effects opposite opioids, ie cardiac output and HR actually increase with anesthetic does of K. As long as none of the patients are allowed to enter stage 2 anesthesia we should be ok :)
