title: [Clinical observations on the use of althesin in pediatric orthopedic surgery].
abstract: Althesin (CT 1341) was used to induce and maintain anaesthesia by means of the drip technique in 50 patients aged 2-14 yr subjected to long orthopaedic surgery not requiring muscular relaxation. It was found that Althesin, if combined with high doses of analgesics, can provide a stable level of anaesthesia that is deep enough to cater for the most painful surgical procedures, marked cardiocirculatory stability, and no more than slight side-effects, and is easy to handle.
