Postmortem findings after epidural anaesthesia.

abstract：:The use of ketamine in patients with carcinoid syndrome is controversial because of the catecholamine response to this agent. Prior administration of diazepam modifies the catecholamine response to ketamine and may make its use in such patients safe. The successful use of a diazepam-ketamine technique for anaesthesia ...
