Abstract

Two cases of fentanyl anesthesia in children with renal diseases are described. In a case of end stage renal failure, the pharmacokinetic parameters during cardiac surgery were similar to 18 children from the same age group with normal renal function. In a case of Wilm's tumor, there was an unusually prolonged elimination half-life of fentanyl and smaller distribution volume as compared to pediatric parameters during fentanyl anesthesia.
