Propofol for repeated burns dressings in a child: a case report.
The use of propofol for repeated burns dressings in a severely psychologically disturbed child is described. The benefits of using this method rather than the traditionally used ketamine are discussed. The lack of adverse side-effects and rapid restarting of feeding were found to be advantageous.
