Echocardiographic Study of the Haemodynamic Effects of Remifentanil With and Without Glycopyrrolate in Healthy Children

This study is currently recruiting participants.

Verified by University Hospital, Ghent, December 2007

Sponsored by:	University Hospital, Ghent
Information provided by:	University Hospital, Ghent
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00315536

Purpose

Study to investigate the influence of remifentanil and glycopyrrolate on cardiac index and blood pressure in children.To differentiate between contractility and the effect of the circulating volume, some of the subjects will receive additional fluid.This will be evaluated using two transthoracic echocardiac exams within the first 30 min of anesthesia.
