A High Resolution Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Model of Propofol in Morbidly Obese Subjects

December 27, 2017 updated by: Jerry Ingrande, Stanford University
This study will determine how morbid obesity affects the distribution and metabolism of the drug propofol. The investigators hypothesize that propofol will be distributed and metabolized differently in morbidly obese subjects as compared to normal weight subjects.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Morbidly obese subjects
Morbidly obese subjects (body mass index greater than 40) will be given propofol for induction of general anesthesia. Plasma samples will be taken to ascertain drug concentration over time.
Drug: propofol
Morbidly obese subjects (body mass index greater than 40)and control subjects (body mass index 20-25) will be given propofol for induction of general anesthesia. Plasma samples will be taken to ascertain drug concentration over time.
Active Comparator: Control subjects (body mass index 20-25)
Normal weight subjects (body mass index 20-25) will be given propofol during induction of general anesthesia. Plasma samples will be collected over time to ascertain propofol plasma concentration.
Drug: propofol
Morbidly obese subjects (body mass index greater than 40)and control subjects (body mass index 20-25) will be given propofol for induction of general anesthesia. Plasma samples will be taken to ascertain drug concentration over time.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
plasma drug concentration of propofol
Time Frame: measured during the perioperative period

Plasma concentration over time will be measured and modeled in order to calculate drug clearance, volume of distribution, area under the curve, and micro rate constants.

Knowledge of these variables will allow safer administration of anesthetic drug administration in the obese population. Knowledge of these parameters will allow propofol to be administered safely in morbily obese subjects.
