Summary

In this feasibility study we will collect blood from indwelling arterial catheters in up to 20 patients undergoing non-emergent surgery with desflurane anesthesia at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Desflurane levels will be determined by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Our eventual goal is to quantify fetal levels of desflurane in umbilical cord blood during fetal surgery. We propose a pilot study to assess the ability of our assay to measure desflurane in human blood.
