Abstract
An oral preparation of dichloralphenazone and paracetamol (Paedosed) was used as an alternative premedication to i.m. morphine and atropine in 562 children undergoing day-care surgery. From a series of observations made, both in hospital and at home, it appears that morphine has several disadvantages when compared with this mixture, provided that the latter is supplemented with i.v. analgesia for the more painful procedures.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
