Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that depresses the thalamus-cortex and stimulates the limbic zone, producing a cataleptic state with muscle hypertonia and somatic analgesia, while maintaining the corneal, pharyngeal, laryngeal and swallowing reflexes. Midazolam provides muscle relaxation and a quieter post-operative period.

indications

Premedication, induction and maintenance of balanced anesthesia.Chemical restraint for diagnostic tests.
