title: Low-dose intramuscular ketamine and hyaluronidase for induction of anaesthesia in non-premedicated children.
abstract: The efficacy of low-dose intramuscular ketamine and hyaluronidase as an induction agent was studied in non-premedicated paediatric outpatients. With 40-50% of the hitherto minimum recommended dose a high success rate of induction was achieved, while the recovery time was considered satisfactory for outpatient anaesthesia. Side-effects were minimal and there were no instances of unpleasant dreams or emergence phenomena.
