MINNEAPOLIS — Hennepin Healthcare officials will ask an independent panel to review cases of its medical responders sedating people with the powerful tranquilizer ketamine.
The action announced Friday is in response to a draft report obtained by the Star Tribune that says the drug caused heart or breathing failure in some instances and suspects had to be revived or intubated.
