Overview

We tested a hypothesis that clonidine in premedication suppresses adverse hemodynamic reactions during ketamine-diazepam-fentanyl anesthesiafor burned patients. In every enrolled patient during repeated anesthetic procedures we alternated between premedication with and without clonidine.20 patients were administered 0,150 mg clonidine in 100 mls of normal saline intravenously, 15 minutes prior to the start of the procedure (clonidinei.v.). 10 patients were administered 0,300 mg clonidine intramusculary 30 minutes prior to the start of the procedure (clonidine i.m.). In both groupswe observed decreased incidence of hypertension a tachycardia during operation (p
