چکیده
Children are by nature apprehensive and do perceive pain as adults do. But young children, do not always or readily complain vocally of discomfort. When chronic discomfort is punctuated by acute distress of diagnostic or therapeutic intrusions, relief may be obtained for some children by various analgesic-anesthetic agents. Although the ideal 'intravenous' analgesic-anesthetic agent is yet to be developed, clinical evaluation of ketamine has provided very encouraging results. Ketamine-a phencyclidine derivative has been employed as an anesthetic agent since 1965.
