Pharmacokinetics of Acetaminophen in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective study of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, in which acetaminophen serum concentrations will be measured following a single intraoperative intravenous dose of acetaminophen. These levels will be used to develop a pharmacokinetic model. Serum concentrations will be compared between two groups of patients: (1) cyanotic patients presenting for the Fontan completion operation and (2) patients with acyanotic congenital heart disease presenting for repair via median sternotomy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in Acetaminophen Serum Concentrations [15-20 minutes; 30-40 minutes; 50-70 minutes; 80-100 minutes; 2 Hours, 4 Hours; and 6-Hours Post-IV acetaminophen administration]
To determine the change in serum concentration of acetaminophen between each timepoint.
