Abstract
A new method of using methohexitone is presented. When given by intramuscular injection in a dose of 3 mg/lb (6.6 mg/kg) it is safe, rapid and pleasant in the introduction of sleep in the paediatric patient. There are apparently no limitations in the use of intramuscular methohexitone sodium other than those limitations placed on the use of any barbiturate.
