Sedation MRI - Propofol Versus Propofol-Ketamin in Children

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2014-11-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Children < 10 years of age often need deep sedation or anaesthesia to allow elective diagnostic magnetic resonance imaging; standard routine protocols are

1. propofol induction without other sedative (Propofol much as needed) or hypnotic drugs and propofol infusion 10 mg/kg h

2. propofol induction with ketamine 1 mg /kg (little repetitive Propofol doses as needed) and propofol infusion 5 mg / kg h

both protocols are compared with regard to clinical outcome and, in cases with cerebral MRI, cerebral perfusion/blood flow.

Hypothesis:

1. reduces recovery time compared to propofol mono sedation

2. combination of ketamine-propofol increases incidence of Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) compared to propofol mono sedation

3. combination of ketamine-propofol increases global cerebral blood flow and changes regional distribution of cerebral perfusion compared to propofol mono sedation

• Phase: Phase 3
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Achim Schmitz
