* As the sole anaesthetic agent for diagnostic and surgical procedures.When used by intravenous or intramuscular injection, Ketamine Propharm 10mg/ml is best suited for short procedures. With additional doses, or by intravenous infusion, Ketamine Propharm 10mg/ml can be used for longer procedures. If skeletal muscle relaxation is desired a muscle relaxant should be used and respiration should be supported.* For the induction of anaesthesia prior to the administration of other general anaesthetic agents.* To supplement other anaesthetic agents.Specific areas of application or types of procedure: When the intramuscular route of administration is preferred.* Debridement, painful dressings and skin grafting in burned patients as well as other superficial surgical procedures.* Neurodiagnostic procedures such as pneumoencephalograms, ventriculograms, myelograms and lumbar punctures.* Diagnostic and operative procedures of the eye, ear, nose and mouth including dental extractions.( Note: eye movement may persist during ophthalmological procedures).* Anaesthesia in poor-risk patients with depression of vital functions or where depression of vital functions must be avoided if at all possible.* Orthopaedic procedures such as closed reduction, manipulation femoral pinning, amputations and biopsies.* Sigmoidoscopy and minor surgery of the anus and rectum, circumcision and pilonidal sinus. * Cardiac catheterization procedures.* Caesarian section: as an induction agent in the absence of elevated blood pressure.* Anaesthesia in the asthmatic patient, either to minimise the risk of an attack of bronchospasm developing or in the presence of bronchospasm where anaesthesia cannot be delayed.
