Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Blood concentrations of propofol at various time points following administration of single induction dose in several subgroups of normal-weight and overweight children aged 1 to 4 years.;Secondary Objective: -Estimation of the most appropriate induction dose of propofol in small normal- weight and overweight children for the purpose of general anaesthesia and deep sedation which should correspond with a plasma propofol concentration of 4 to 6 µg/mL and 2 to 3 µg/mL respectively. -Time to achieve a significant peak plasma concentration for general anaesthesia and for deep sedation -Duration of clinically relevant peak plasma concentration -Determination of an association between blood concentration of propofol and induction dose calculation based on total body weight or lean body weight -Adverse events in all participants ;Primary end point(s): Correlation between the induction dose of propofol and the plasma propofol concentration of 4 to 6 µg/mL and 2 to 3 µg/mL, which mirrors the condition of general anesthesia and deep sedation respectively.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 10 minutes after the administration of propofol

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Pharmacokinetics of propofol in small children Adverse events in all participants;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 7 days postoperative after the adminsistration of propofol
