Immobilization of baboons (Papio anubis) using ketamine and diazepam.
Ketamine (10mg/kg body weight) was administered intramuscularly in 10 baboons (Papio anubis). Subsequently, a combination of ketamine (10mg/kg body weight) and diazepam (7.5 mg) was administered intramuscularly. Results indicated that using diazepam concurrently with ketamine suppressed or eliminated the epileptoid movements characteristic of anesthesia with ketamine used alone.
