title: The use of flunitrazepam (Rohypnol) in paediatric plastic surgery.
abstract: The efficacy of flunitrazepam, a sedative and hypnotic agent, in facilitating minor procedures in plastic surgery was assessed in 25 children. The drug was administered in a dose of 0.030 mg/kg body weight. Adequate sedation was achieved with minimal side effects. The respiratory rate and the blood pressure showed minimal change whereas the pulse rate was unaltered.
