Scientific title
Study objectivesSevoflurane and isoflurane are commonly used to anaesthetise patients with congenital heart disease. Which agent causes the least depression of cardiac function?
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHeart disease
InterventionThe routine study usually lasts 1 hour. For the first 30 minutes, each subject will be anaesthetised with one of the agents. The agent will then be swapped and the patients anaesthetised with the other agent for the remaining 30 minutes. Variables will be recorded at the end of each period.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

Cardiac output, aortic and pulmonary blood flow, arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance.
