Summary

This is a prospective study of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease, in which acetaminophen serum concentrations will be measured following a single intraoperative intravenous dose of acetaminophen. These levels will be used to develop a pharmacokinetic model. Serum concentrations will be compared between two groups of patients: (1) cyanotic patients presenting for the Fontan completion operation and (2) patients with acyanotic congenital heart disease presenting for repair via median sternotomy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients presenting for Fontan palliation or for surgical repair requiring median sternotomy, will be included in the study.
  • Only patients who receive intravenous acetaminophen in the operating room will have serum levels drawn.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Documentation of an allergy to acetaminophen
  • Severe hepatic disease or other contraindications to acetaminophen use
  • Patient has received acetaminophen within 24 hours of their procedure
