‘Paedfusor’ pharmacokinetic data set

* E-mail: anthony.absalom{at}addenbrookes.nhs.uk

Editor—Recently, several ‘open TCI’ systems (target-controlled infusion devices not requiring pre-filled propofol syringes) have been developed. In the near future some manufacturers of these systems will distribute such systems programmed with other pharmacokinetic data sets for propofol, and also data sets for other drugs such as remifentanil. One such set is the ‘Paedfusor’ pharmacokinetic data set for children. When we published the results of a study of the predictive performance of this data set, for brevity we did not publish the full pharmacokinetic details. We also omitted the non-linear kinetics used for children aged 13–16 yr.1 2 For the benefit of those who wish to use this model we have provided the full details in Table 1.
