Basic narcosis of ketamine was effective for ESWL in infants.The voltage and shock wave index for infants were much lower than that for adults. Stone was quickly and smoothly released with little complications. Conclusion:ESWL had characteristics of safety, dependence,effectivness and short hospital stay, and it was the first choice to treat infantile urinary calculi.
