Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Pharmacokinetic study involving propofol infusion and arterial blood sampling
Target controlled infusion of propofol utilisng the Kataria pharmacokinetic dataset and titrating target plasma concentration to achieve a bispectral index between 40 and 60.
There will be both obese (50) and non-obese (10) groups.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Non-obese children
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266677 0
Arterial blood concentration of propofol vs time with subsequent pharmacokinetic analysis utilisng mixed effect modelling to assess the impact of obesity on propofol infusion pharmacokinetics
Timepoint [1] 266677 0
Sampling at 2, 5, 10 and 15 minutes and the 15 minutely until cessation of infusion.
Sampling will then occur at 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes and then 15 minutely following cessation until removal of the arterial sampling line.
Secondary outcome [1] 276178 0
Bi spectral index vs arterial propofol concentration
Continuous BIS recording will be related to actual arterial concentration at the measured time points.
This will enable construction of a BIS response curve as well as estimation of the time to peak effect.
Timepoint [1] 276178 0
Continuous until cessation infusion

Summary
Brief summary
A pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study aiming to investigate the impact of childhood obesity on propofol infusion. General anaesthesia will be carried out with propofol infusion (Using Kataria PK model). Arterial blood sampling will determine pharmacokinetics and BIS monitoring will determine pharmacodynamics. Pharmacokinetic analysis will focus on how best to account for obesity in children recieving propofol infusion.
