Ketamine Pharmacokinetics in Children Having Heart Surgery

Arkansas Children's Hospital Research InstituteCompletedStarted Jun 1, 200618 enrolledUnited StatesNCT00598195

Abstract

What are the pharmacokinetics of ketamine in infants and children requiring ketamine for induction of anesthesia for cardiac surgery that requires CPB? Specific Aim 1: To determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of a single intravenous bolus dose of ketamine in infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery with and without CPB (cardio-pulmonary bypass). Specific Aim 2: To describe the disposition of ketamine's primary active metabolite, norketamine,following a single intravenous bolus dose of ketamine in infants and children undergoing cardiac surgery with and without CPB. Specific Aim 3: To determine the relationship between ketamine and norketamine pharmacokinetic parameters and age as well as CPB time.
