Two hundred and seventy-two ketamine anaesthetics have been given to sixteen children undergoing radiotherapy. Satisfactory conditions were provided in every case and the incidence of complications was low. At the present time ketamine would appear to be the most satisfactory agent in those children who require sedation in order to undergo radiotherapy.
