Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of propofol on blood pressure and on various endogenous hormonal regulatory mechanisms (renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, vasopressin system, catecholamines) in children and adolescents as a function of BMI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A further aim is to clarify whether overweight or obese children/adolescents have less or more blood pressure drops than normal weight patients during general anaesthesia with Propofol? For this purpose, the non-invasive blood pressure values regularly measured during general anaesthesia are evaluated.
