Abstract:
The new steroid intravenous anaesthetic agent Althesin was compared with methohexitone sodium for out-patient dental extractions in children. No serious disadvantages in its use were found. The small volume required and lack of irritant properties on injection were considered to be advantageous in this age-group.
