A method of anaesthetising patients for computerised axial tomography using an intravenous infusion of alphaxalone/alphadolone as the sole agent is described. Its successful use in 120 patients of all ages has led to a better understanding of the mode of action of the drug and suggestions are made about its use in more general anaesthetic practice.
