Pretreatment with small-dose ketamine reduces withdrawal movements associated with injection of rocuronium in pediatric patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In patients with mitral regurgitation (MR), the effective regurgitant orifice area can be estimated by measuring the vena contracta area (VCA). We hypothesize that the VCA has characteristic temporal dynamics related to the underlying mechanism of functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) versus degenerative mit...
