Ketamine and midazolam is an inappropriate preinduction combination in uncooperative children undergoing brief ambulatory procedures

Summary Background: We prospectively studied the effects of intramuscular (i.m.) ketamine alone, or combined with midazolam, on mask acceptance and recovery in young children who were uncooperative during induction of anaesthesia.
