May warrant caution with high-dose remifentanil in pediatric ablation; leaves open need for dose adjustment or outcome impact.
Does remifentanil affect sinus node function and the atrial-His interval in pediatric patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation?
Remifentanil inhibits intraatrial conduction and sinus node automaticity without affecting atrioventricular node conduction in pediatric patients under propofol anesthesia.
Fujii et al. (2011) studied this question.
