Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The investigation of the known propofol metabolites in humans in plasma and urine after intravenous bolus administration. The aim is to check whether all previously described metabolites of propofol are detectable in plasma and urine in humans, what percentage distribution exists and how great the variability between individual patients is.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A pharmacogenetic analysis of the patients in order to explain possible different metabolism patterns. These analyses will be carried out in cooperation with the Dr. Margarete Fischer-Bosch Institute for Clinical Pharmacology (IKP, Prof. Schwab), Bosch Health Campus Stuttgart.
