Fentanyl may enhance vagal tone in pediatric EPS under propofol; leaves open effects on arrhythmia inducibility and ablation outcomes.
Does fentanyl added to propofol anesthesia alter cardiac electrophysiological activities in pediatric patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?
The addition of fentanyl to propofol anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing electrophysiological studies significantly prolongs sinus node recovery time, indicating enhanced cardiac vagal tone.
Fujii et al. (2009) studied this question.
