Patient-Safety
At Klearmind Clinics, patient safety is the foundation of every treatment we provide. Ketamine and IV therapies can produce profound clinical benefits, but they also require a level of medical oversight that goes beyond simply administering a medication.
Our protocols are built around continuous monitoring, immediate physician availability, specialized clinical expertise, and clearly defined emergency procedures, ensuring that every patient is supported by a comprehensive safety infrastructure from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave.
Below is an overview of the systems and safeguards in place at every Klearmind Clinics treatment session.
Continuous Pulse Oximetry & Blood Pressure Monitoring
Every patient is connected to continuous pulse oximetry and blood pressure monitoring throughout their entire treatment session. Because ketamine can cause transient changes in oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure, this real-time data allows our clinical team to detect any shift the moment it happens and respond immediately, rather than relying on periodic spot-checks.
- Pulse oximetry monitored continuously from start to finish
- Blood pressure and heart rate checked before, during, and after treatment
- Immediate flagging of any reading outside a safe range
- Additional monitoring for patients with a history of hypertension or cardiac concerns
Physician Immediately Available
A licensed physician is on-site or immediately available during every treatment session. This ensures that any clinical decision, whether it's a dosage adjustment, a change in protocol, or a response to an unexpected symptom, can be made without delay.
Oxygen and Airway Management Equipment
Treatment rooms are equipped with supplemental oxygen and airway management tools, including bag-valve masks and suction equipment.
While respiratory complications are rare when protocols are followed correctly, having this equipment immediately on hand ensures our team can respond within seconds if needed.
- Supplemental oxygen available in every treatment room
- Airway management tools checked and maintained regularly
- Equipment positioned for immediate access, not stored off-site
Cardiac Anesthesiologist and Internist Oversight
Our treatment protocols are shaped with input from a cardiac anesthesiologist and an internist, bringing specialized expertise in cardiovascular risk management and overall medical evaluation. This ensures dosing thresholds, monitoring parameters, and pre-treatment screening are grounded in advanced clinical knowledge specific to ketamine's effects on the body.
- Cardiac anesthesiologist input on monitoring thresholds and cardiovascular risk
- Internist-led evaluation of underlying health conditions and medication history
- Pre-treatment screening to identify risk factors before the first session
Therapist Integration
Ketamine therapy carries a significant psychological dimension alongside its medical effects, and licensed mental health professionals are integrated directly into the treatment journey to support it.
Therapeutic guidance is woven through every stage of care, helping patients prepare with intention before treatment begins and process their experience meaningfully once it ends.
This ensures the emotional and psychological aspects of care receive the same attention and rigor as the physical monitoring patients receive throughout their session.
Referral Pathways
When a patient's needs extend beyond what our clinic provides directly, we rely on established referral relationships so that care continues without delay.
- Direct referral pathways to psychiatrists, cardiologists, and other specialists
- Coordinated handoff to ensure continuity of care
- Relationships established in advance, not arranged case by case
Emergency Procedures
Our clinical team follows clearly defined emergency response protocols, rehearsed and ready well before they're ever needed.
- Rapid internal escalation procedures
- On-site stabilization measures
- Direct communication pathways with emergency medical services
