[Effect of intravenous anesthesia using ketamine on respiratory and circulatory parameters].
Experimental studies in 40 dogs have established that a fractional mode of the intravenous administration of ketamine (3 mg/kg) results in the inhibited functions of respiration and blood circulation while the dropping method of the intravenous administration of ketamine (0,035 mg/kg/min) does not influence the functions of blood circulation and respiration. The dropping method of administration of ketamine (0,035 mg/kg/min), however, fails to maintain stable indices of blood circulation in the patients.
