Study Summary

This research study is examining the absorption of the sedative dexmedetomidine (DEX) in the blood when given by nasal spray. The study will help us determine the best dosing amount for children undergoing sedation or anesthesia with DEX.

Primary Outcome

DEX concentration will be measured in the blood to determine the time point with the maximum concentration (Cmax). Blood samples will be obtained at baseline, and 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min, 1 hour, and 2 hours after receiving DEX. If cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is delayed beyond two hours, one final blood sample will be obtained immediately prior to CPB.
