Abstract

Sedation for genital examination in suspected sexual abuse is seldom discussed. The cases are presented of three children in whom genital examination was facilitated by ketamine sedation; these children could not be examined under any other circumstances. Ketamine provides safe effective sedation, analgesia, and amnesia in an ambulatory setting. Its use should be considered in selected patients.
