This research study is examining the absorption of the sedative dexmedetomidine (DEX) in the blood when given by nasal spray. The study will help us determine the best dosing amount for children undergoing sedation or anesthesia with DEX.
The study will be a prospective study of plasma concentrations after intranasal (1 µg/kg and 2µg/kg) and intravenous (1 µg /kg) DEX to determine the early pharmacokinetics (maximum concentration (peak) and time to peak) and bioavailability of a single intranasal dose in pediatric patients.
Dexmedetomidine sedation is commonly utilized at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center (CCHMC) and other pediatric institutions. This compound is delivered intravenously or intranasally for sedation in children with and without congenital heart disease. Intranasal DEX, though very effective for sedation, has significant variability in its onset and peak effect. Patient care will be significantly improved if factors that determine this variability in onset and peak effect can be determined. Investigators will determine the important early clinical variables of peak plasma DEX concentration (Tmax and Cmax) and the 0 - 2 hour bioavailability of intranasal DEX in children.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEX 1 mcg/kg Intranasal | Experimental | Standard anesthesia care for a patient presenting for cardiac surgery includes induction of general anesthesia , placement of an endotracheal tube and an arterial line. Once these are accomplished, dexmedetomidine is administered according to group assignment. |
|
| DEX 2 mcg/kg Intranasal | Experimental | Standard anesthesia care for a patient presenting for cardiac surgery includes induction of general anesthesia , placement of an endotracheal tube and an arterial line. Once these are accomplished, dexmedetomidine is administered according to group assignment. |
|
| DEX 1 mcg/kg Intravenous | Experimental | Standard anesthesia care for a patient presenting for cardiac surgery includes induction of general anesthesia , placement of an endotracheal tube and an arterial line. Once these are accomplished, dexmedetomidine is administered according to group assignment. |

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum blood concentration level of DEX - Cmax | DEX concentration will be measured in the blood to determine the time point with the maximum concentration (Cmax). Blood samples will be obtained at baseline, and 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 1 hour, and 2 hours after receiving DEX. If cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is delayed beyond two hours, one final blood sample will be obtained immediately prior to CPB. | Blood samples will be drawn until immediately prior to Cardiopulmonary bypass, an expected average of 2 hours |
| The amount of time that a DEX is present at the maximum concentration - Tmax | DEX concentration will be measured in the blood to determine the time point with the maximum concentration and how long that maximum concentration lasts (Tmax). Blood samples will be obtained at baseline, and 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 1 hour, and 2 hours after receiving DEX. If cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is delayed beyond two hours, one final blood sample will be obtained immediately prior to CPB. | Blood samples will be drawn until immediately prior to Cardiopulmonary bypass, an expected average of 2 hours |
| Area under the curve for DEX concentration levels | DEX concentration will be measured in the blood samples. Blood samples will be obtained at baseline, and 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 1 hour, and 2 hours after receiving DEX. If cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is delayed beyond two hours, one final blood sample will be obtained immediately prior to CPB. | Blood samples will be drawn until immediately prior to Cardiopulmonary bypass, an expected average of 2 hours |
| Bioavailability of intranasal DEX relative to intravenous DEX for distribution - plasma concentration | Data will also be analyzed using population modeling using nonlinear mixed effect modeling (NONMEM). Investigators are limited in sampling duration to the onset time for cardiopulmonary bypass in this patient population (approximately two hours), investigators will be measuring distribution for approximately one half-life of DEX. This will allow us to estimate the important clinical parameter of relative 0-2h bioavailability of intranasal vs intravenous DEX. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Adverse events associated with DEX administration | Heart rate and blood pressure are recorded by clinical staff prior to the procedure and continuously during the procedure. The heart rate and blood pressure during the time of study blood collection will be compared to the baseline vitals to determine if any adverse events occurred. | Participants will be followed until cardiopulmonary bypass, an expected duration of 2 hours. |
