Anaesthesia with ketamine and thiopentone for short surgical procedures: with reference to anaesthesia in developing countries.

The method provides satisfactory operating conditions combined with cardiovascular stability and an apparently safe airway at little more than half the cost of a comparable technique using ketamine alone.
