[General anesthesia in ambulatory dental and oral surgery interventions--report of experience]

General anaesthesia is also justifiable in dental and maxillofacial interventions on an outpatient basis. Having dealt with the indications, the authors concern themselves with preliminary examinations and premedications. Finally, they comment on, and evaluate from the viewpoint of practice-relevance, anaesthetizing methods, such as intravenous short anaesthesia, ketamine anaesthesia and mixed anaesthesia, which have proved a success for a total of 20 years of interdisciplinary co-operation of dentists and maxillofacial surgeons and anaesthetists.
