Abstract
A method of anaesthesia which has been used on 100 occasions for radiotherapy in infants and unco-operative small children is described. The method is applicable when the anaesthetist must remain outside the treatment room, and consists of the insufflation of nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane through the side-arm of an oropharyngeal airway. This method overcomes the disadvantages of tracheal intubation or heavy sedation in cases in which therapy must be frequently repeated.
