    Journal: Anaesthesist; 1978 Apr; 27(4):172-82. PubMed ID: 655364.
    Abstract:
    During a twenty-one month period, over 1000 patients who underwent various types of intra-abdominal operations were anaesthetized with a combination of diazepam and ketamine using a continuous "Micro-Mini" drip administration technique. The results obtained from 1000 cases were eminently satisfactory. This paper also reviews all the previous literature on ketamine anaesthesia related to abdominal surgery. All the undesirable adverse side effects associated with ketamine anaesthesia in adult patients have been almost completely eliminated using this technique. Overall, the excellent results clearly indicate that ketamine has a definite place in anaesthesia for intra-abdominal operations.
