Summary

This research study is being done to see whether general anesthesia (GA) affects our ability to start ventricular tachycardia (VT) during an VT ablation procedure. Data collected during this research study will help electrophysiologists and anesthesiologists to make the best decisions about the best anesthetic conditions to use to perform VT ablations. This research study is a "pilot" study. Pilot studies are done on a small group of subjects to learn if a larger study would be useful.

Conditions

• Ventricular Tachycardia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Versed	Phase 1: Standard induction of controled sedation with intravenous agent then programed stimulation to induce ventricular tachycardia
DRUG	Fentanyl	Phase 1: Standard induction of controled sedation with intravenous agent then programed stimulation to induce ventricular tachycardia
DRUG	Propofol	Phase 2: Standard induction of GETA with intravenous agent then programed stimulation to induce ventricular tachycardia
DRUG	Sevoflurane	Phase 3: Standard induction of GETA with inhalent agent then programed stimulation to induce ventricular tachycardia
