Ketamine when given in such low dose via intramuscular injection will have minimal side effects. Perhaps some very mild dissociation but this is not common. ECT has the potential to cause far more serious side effects, namely those associated with memory loss and cognition. I agree with you, the safer option appears to be Ketamine IM.
