Ketamine hydrochloride 2 mg/kg, together with atropine 0.2 mg, has been given intravenously on 100 occasions on a general paediatric ward. No serious side effects occurred. Dreams followed in 4 children but did not reduce acceptability of the drug. In our hands it has greatly reduced the pain and distress of children undergoing many routine medical procedures, particularly the dread which builds up when these have to be repeated in the same child. It has also produced close to ideal conditions for the operator, and probably increased his efficiency by reducing the emotional strain which occurs when doing painful things to a frightened patient.
在一家普通儿科病房，已对100例患儿静脉注射了2毫克/千克的盐酸氯胺酮以及0.2毫克阿托品。未发生严重副作用。4名儿童出现了梦境，但这并未降低该药物的可接受性。在我们手中，它极大地减轻了接受许多常规医疗程序的儿童的疼痛和痛苦，尤其是当这些程序必须在同一儿童身上重复进行时所产生的恐惧。它还为操作人员创造了近乎理想的条件，并且可能通过减轻对惊恐患者进行痛苦操作时产生的情绪压力而提高了操作人员的效率。
