Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: After obtaining written informed consents from the parents, ASA physical status 1 - 2 pediatric patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who are scheduled to undergo radiofrequency catheter ablation will be prospectively enrolled in this study. ASA physical status P1 A normal healthy patient P2 A patient with mild systemic disease P3 A patient with severe systemic disease P4 A patient with severe systemic disease that is a constant threat to life P5 A moribund patient who is not expected to survive without the operation P6 A declared brain-dead patient whose organs are being removed for donor purposes

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria 1) obesity 2) allergy to the trial or companion drugs 3) previous history of kidney, and/or liver disease. 4) patients with severe heart diseases including cardiomyopathy, valvulopathy, and congenital cardiac diseases 5) patients deemed unsuitable for the study by investigators

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
After anesthetic induction and catheter insertion, CSACT (calculated sinoatrial conduction time) is measured during first EPS (electrophysiological study). And then, remifentanil is administered at a rate of 0.2 or 0.4 microg/kg/min. Almost 10 minutes after remifentanil administration, second EPS and CSACT measurement is performed.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
As with mentioned above, CSNRT (corrected sinus node recovery time), RR interval, and AH interval are measured before and during remifentanil administration.

Countries

Japan
