Clinical Trials

Pharmacokinetics of Ketamine in Infants and Children Not Recruiting
More
Dosing of medications is based on the plasma level achieved with a given dose and how long the medicine remains in the body. This study is called pharmacokinetics-that is, what the body does to the medication. Ketamine is an intravenous medication used for anesthesia and sedation in children. However the pharmacokinetics of Ketamine has not been systematically studied. We propose to study the pharmacokinetics of ketamine in different age groups of children ranging from infants to teenagers.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial. For more information, please contact , .

Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD)
Clinical Focus
Anesthesia, Neurosurgical Anesthesia
Research Interests
My research focuses on the relationship between sleep abnormalities and pain behavior and opioid pharmacology in the postoperative, as well as chronic pain setting. More specifically, I am interested in delineating the effect of the different components of sleep-diosordered breathing, like nocturnal recurrent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation on pain behavior in the acute and/or chronic care setting.
