[Ketamine administered as an IV infusion. Use in infants weighing less and more than 10 kg (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The hemodynamic respiratory results and analgesic quality of ketamine administered as an IV infusion are studied. For the infants weighing less than 10 kg. The increases in arterial pressure and heart rate are not readily acceptable all the less as the ketamine requirement for good analgesia is very important. For the infant weighing more than 10 kg, the procedure of this technique is approximatively the same for the adult. The explanation of these problems is perhaps connected to the larger extra-cellular fluid volumes of young children and to their brain immaturity.
