Caudal epidural morphine for control of pain following open heart surgery in children.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The potential benefit of propofol dose regimens that use physiologic pharmacokinetic modeling to target the brain has been demonstrated in animals, but no data are available on the rate of propofol distribution to the brain in humans. This study measured the brain uptake of propofol in humans and the simulta...
