Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Pharmacokinetic study involving propofol infusion and arterial blood sampling
Target controlled infusion of propofol utilisng the Kataria pharmacokinetic dataset and titrating target plasma concentration to achieve a bispectral index between 40 and 60.
There will be both obese (50) and non-obese (10) groups.
Intervention code [1] 264505 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Non-obese children
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266677 0
Arterial blood concentration of propofol vs time with subsequent pharmacokinetic analysis utilisng mixed effect modelling to assess the impact of obesity on propofol infusion pharmacokinetics
Timepoint [1] 266677 0
Sampling at 2, 5, 10 and 15 minutes and the 15 minutely until cessation of infusion.
Sampling will then occur at 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and then 15 minutely following cessation until removal of the arterial sampling line.
Secondary outcome [1] 276178 0
Bi spectral index vs arterial propofol concentration
Continuous BIS recording will be related to actual arterial concentration at the measured time points.
This will enable construction of a BIS response curve as well as estimation of the time to peak effect.
Timepoint [1] 276178 0
Continuous until cessation infusion
