Intra-muscular ketamine with hyaluronidase was used on nineteen occasions to provide anaesthesia for daily radiotherapy in a 22-month-old boy with a rhabdomysarcoma of the bladder. The technique produced a sharper, reliable recovery and allowed the child his normal fluid and caloric intake within 90 minutes.
