[Our experience with althesin and hydroxyzine combined in the same syringe in minor surgery]

Personal experience in minor surgery with Althesin alone (200 cases) and in association with hydroxyzine in the same syringe (250 cases) is reported. Comparison showed that the association is useful, particularly in cases where the operation lasts longer and involves greater pain stimuli. It is felt that the method described will extend the use of Althesin in minor surgery.
