[Clinical investigations of the temperature effects of ketamine and halothane in children (author's transl)].
In 68 from 1- to 14-years-old children rectal temperature was measured in Ketamine and Halothane anesthesia and with room temperatures ranging from 22-25 and 26-28 degree centigrade, while orthopedic repair operations were performed on the extremities. Independent of the quality of the premedication, which consisted either of Ketamine (Atropine or Thalamonal) Atropine a significant rise in temperature of 0,4 to 0,5 degrees C. was found within one hour of Ketamine anesthesia, but only with room temperatures of 26-28 degrees C., while with lower room temperatures (22-25 degrees C.) rectal temperature remained unchanged. The rise in temperature occurred both in Ketamine monoanesthesia with spontaneous respiration and in Ketamine-N2O-O2 anesthesia with respiration controlled.
