Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics of dexmedetomidine in the following three pediatric patient populations: patients with bi-directional cavopulmonary anastomosis or a Fontan procedure, patients who have had a cardiac transplant, and patients with otherwise normal physiology who are undergoing closure of a patent ductus arteriosis or atrial septal defect.
