Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Sedation Threshold
During the 10-minute infusion of propofol, children will be presented with pictures at 5-second intervals and asked to name the picture. They will be asked to name each picture (e.g., cat, tree, pencil, etc.). A valid response is naming of the picture within 5 seconds, either correctly or incorrectly.The important response measure is whether the child is awake enough to perform the naming task.

Study Arms (2)
children going under sedation with propofol
EXPERIMENTALChildren who will undergo sedation as part of their clinical management and give them a memory encoding task during propofol infusion to measure the effects of sedation. The mere task of naming a picture will encode that picture into memory. When the anesthesia has worn off (at approximately 1 hour later), children will be given a memory recognition task to measure the amnesic effects of propofol. measure the amnesic effects of propofol.
children not going under sedation
ACTIVE COMPARATORA control group of children of similar age and undergoing similar minor therapeutic procedures will be recruited to perform memory.
Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The patient must be between 4 and 14 yrs of age and be undergoing a therapeutic or diagnostic procedure with or without sedation
- The patient must be able to comprehend and perform the task (naming pictures)
- The patient must have a minimum weight of 8 kg
You may not qualify if:
- Allergy to propofol (for those patients requiring sedation)
- Procedure of short duration (\< 15 min)
