title: Use of methohexitone, fentanyl and nitrous oxide for short surgical procedures.
abstract: An anaesthetic technique for unpremedicated patients undergoing minor surgery is described. After the administration of atropine and fentanyl, anaesthesia was induced with methohexitone and maintained with nitrous oxide supplemented when necessary by further small doses of methohexitone. This technique provided good operating conditions and was free from major complications. Recovery was rapid and pleasant.
