title: [Induction of Anaesthesia in Children by Intramuscular Administration of Methohexital (author's transl)].
abstract: 5 mg/kilogram bodyweight of a 5 per cent solution of methohexital was given intramuscularly, together with a vagolytic agent, to 102 children aged 5 months -- 9 years before inhalation anesthesia. Premedication was omitted. The technique resulted in smooth induction of sleep and rapid recovery with few side-effects. With certain precautions the technique is suitable for day-case surgery in children.
