However, these analyses were potentially confounded by co\u2010administered drugs, in particular opioids and benzodiazepines. Thus, the goal of this prospective study was to characterize the influence of age and weight on the onset of hypnotic effects from propofol, reflected by the time to peak of propofol effect\u2010site concentration in the absence of additional drugs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 46 healthy children aged 2\u201312\u2009years presenting for elective surgery were included in our observational cohort study. Solely propofol was administered via a target\u2010controlled infusion pump programmed with the Paedfusor pharmacokinetic model. The BIS and infusion pump data were recorded. The effect of an induction \u201cbolus\u201d was recorded having stopped the pump once a propofol plasma target concentration of 7\u2009\u03bcg.mL<jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup> was achieved. A direct\u2010response and an indirect\u2010response model in the context of nonlinear mixed\u2010effects modeling was used to characterize and compare BIS data in children aged 2\u20136\u2009years and older children aged 8\u201312\u2009years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Time to peak of propofol effect\u2010site concentration had a difference (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value &lt;.01) for age and weight, that is 84 [74, 96] (median [IQR] secs for children aged 2\u20136\u2009years vs. 99 [91, 113] secs for children aged 8\u201312\u2009years and 82 [71, 95] secs for weight 11\u201325\u2009kg vs. 99 [91, 114] secs for weight 30\u201363\u2009kg). The plasma effect\u2010site equilibration rate constant for propofol had a heterogeneous distribution with a median of 2.36 (IQR: 2.05\u20132.93; range: 0.83\u20137.31) per minute but showed a weight\u2010dependent effect in patients with weight below 45\u2009kg.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In children, the age and weight have an influence on time to peak effect of propofol.
