Abstract
QT interval prolongation on the electrocardiogram (ECG) may be drug-induced and is traditionally associated with torsades des pointes. A better predictor of torsades des pointes is the time interval between the peak and the end of the T-wave (Tp-e). Older studies of propofol's effect on the corrected interval (QTc) are conflicting and confounded by polypharmacy. It was recently shown that target-controlled infusion of propofol at 3 microg/mL has no effect on QTc or Tp-e. This plasma concentration of propofol is at the extreme lower end of the range for surgical anesthesia. In this randomized, double-blind, clinical study, we investigated the dose-response relationship between propofol, QTc, and Tp-e in a range of doses clinically relevant for surgical anesthesia. Sixty healthy unpremedicated children, aged 3-10 yr, were recruited. Subjects were randomized to receive target-controlled infusions of propofol, to achieve 1 of 3 plasma concentrations: 3, 4.5, and 6 microg/mL. A preoperative 12 lead ECG was performed and repeated 5 min after induction. Two investigators, blinded to group allocation and to the timing of the ECG traces, independently measured QTc and Tp-e within and between each group. Paired t-tests were used to compa...Continue Reading
