Induction of General Anesthesia Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Hemodynamic Effects of Propofol Versus Sevoflurane for Induction of Anesthesia in Healthy Infants as Measured by Electrical Cardiometry: Randomized Controlled Trial
This comparative study aims to investigate the haemodynamic safety profile for induction of general anesthesia in infants 3 months or less guided by electrical cardiometry parameters versus sevoflurane.
This study aims to investigate the hemodynamic effects of both propofol and sevoflurane for induction of anesthesia in infants less than 3 months of age by electrical cardiometry. The investigators hypothesized that propofol will have a safe hemodynamic profile for induction of anesthesia in infants less than 3 months of age as measured by electrical cardiometry in addition to its favorable pharmacokinetic profile of rapid induction and optimal intubation conditions.It is conducted at Abu Al Reesh Children's Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University based on an institutional protocol used as a standard of care to induce anesthesia ;
