OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of @entity3652 in pediatric @entity1 undergoing interventional cardiac procedures. DESIGN: A retrospective clinical study. SETTING: A single, tertiary referral center. @entity1 : @entity1 (n = 107) undergoing interventional cardiac procedures between July 1996 and July 1998. INTERVENTIONS: Each @entity1 received a bolus of @entity3652 , 1 mg/kg intravenously, followed by an infusion of 50 to 75 microg/kg/min for the duration of the procedure. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Hemodynamic and respiratory parameters were noted. All @entity1 were breathing spontaneously. Average infusion dose of @entity3652 was 51.40+/-3.54 microg/kg/min (mean +/- standard deviation). Increases in heart rate and mean arterial pressure by more than 20% from baseline values were seen in 10 and 9 @entity1 , respectively. Transient @entity386 and @entity3887 were seen in two @entity1 each. Excessive movement of extremities was seen in six @entity1 . There were no episodes of unpleasant dreams or @entity1833 . There were two deaths (1.9%) related to the interventional procedures. CONCLUSION: The technique described is a simple, safe, and effective method for anesthetizing @entity1 in the cardiac catheterization laboratory for interventional procedures.
