Abstract

No specific regimen has been universally accepted as ideal for procedural sedation during cardiac catheterization in infants and children. In this paper, we retrospectively describe our preliminary experience with a continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine and propofol for sedation during cardiac catheterization in children with congenital heart disease. The short-half life of these two drugs creates a potential for easier titration, quicker recovery and less prolonged sedation-related adverse effects. This combination was not only able to limit the dose of either drugs, but was also very stable from cardio-respiratory standpoint. There were no adverse effects noted in our two patients. This initial experience showed that the combination of propofol and dexmedetomidine as a continuous infusion may be a suitable alternative for sedation in spontaneously breathing children undergoing cardiac catheterization.
