January 28, 2015 updated by: Naveen Naik, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research
The principle objective of this study is to evaluate pharmacokinetics of propofol after single iv bolus dose in 12 Indian children and to develop a simple pharmacokinetic model of propofol.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PROPOFOL is the most suitable agent currently available for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. So far, the pharmacokinetics of propofol has not been studied in Indian children. We believe that this pharmacokinetic characterization of propofol will help in better management of these patients undergoing surgery under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) in our setup. 12 ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) grade I patients, 5 to 12 years old planned for elective surgery will be included. Premedication will be done with syrup midazolam 0.5mg/kg. After shifting the patient to the operation table, routine physiological monitoring will be commenced and two intravenous lines will be secured,one in the antecubital vein of one arm and the other vein on the dorsum of the contralateral hand. The antecubital venous access will be used for blood sampling. Anesthetic technique will consist of fentanyl bolus dose of 2ug/kg followed by propofol bolus dose of 2.5 mg/kg. No further propofol will be administered. After loss of consciousness , patients will be paralysed with atracurium (0.5mg/kg) and endotracheal intubation will be performed. Anesthesia will be maintained with isoflurane, oxygen (50%) and nitrous oxide (50%), and intermittent dosages of atracurium. A total of twelve samples will be collected from each patient at 0, 2, 4, 6, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, and 480 min after administration of bolus dose of propofol.The samples will be analyzed using a modified High Performance Liquid Chromatography method described by Pavan et al. The pharmacokinetic parameters will be evaluated using three compartment model to develop a pharmacokinetic model by using the software WINNONLIN (Windows Non Linear Regression Program).

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
