title: [Treatment of pain and anesthesia in emergency and catastrophe medicine (author's transl)].
abstract: Catastrophe conditions for anesthesia and the treatment of pain arise when otherwise conventional techniques and procedures, including supervision of the patient, can only be carried out incompletely or not at all. Pain must be controlled with analgesics which have the least possible side-effects. When supplies of energy and gas fail, inhalation anesthesia can only be carried out under certain circumstances. In its place intravenous anesthesia can be used, with or without relaxation, with air breathing or artificial respiration. Reports in the literature of studies and experience attribute particular importance to ketamine in this respect.
