A relentless, two-year investigation that led to a new state law, proposed federal legislation, a statewide review of health regulations, sweeping policy changes at local and state agencies, and national awareness about the use of ketamine, by paramedics, to sedate agitated people outside of a hospital.

The fourth link below, Sedated, is a special television program, the culmination of our two years of investigative work.
FOX31 investigates the extremely agitated and controversial condition medics refer to as "Excited Delirium." It is the condition for which medics were allowed to administer ketamine to people outside of a hospital setting. Colorado no longer accepts this condition as a reason to give the drug.
