Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of 2 different concentrations of rectal ketamine on its premedicant features in children.
To investigate whether changing concentration and volume of ketamine for rectal premedication would change the premedication and recovery characteristics. ⋯ Although adequate sedation was obtained for most of the children in both groups, rectal premedication with 5% ketamine resulted in higher levels of sedation appearing earlier than that of 2.5% ketamine, while change of volume and concentration had no effect on recovery characteristics.
