Stopped: Study initially halted due to the COVID pandemic because the research ventilator was repurposed for life saving efforts. Due to later clinical demands, the study was able to be restarted.
This study is designed to look at how often a decrease in the rate of breathing occurs after being given a routinely used intravenous (IV) pain medication. This pain medication (Fentanyl) is given in the research procedure room by the anesthesiologist. In addition to relieving pain, in some patients it has been observed that this medication may decrease the rate of breathing. Different pieces of one's genetic makeup (also known as genes) can affect how well this medication relieves pain. The investigators do not know if these same genes influence how large the effect of the medication has on breathing rate. The purpose of this study is to determine if the presence or alteration of these same genes may be associated with a decrease in rate of breathing.
