This pilot study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of
anesthesia in the mitochondrial dysfunction patient.

Study subjects undergoing a routine medical care non-emergent procedure will be randomized
into three different groups to receive one of the following anesthetic agents; Sevoflurane,
Propofol or Dexmedetomidine.

The primary outcome of this pilot study is to evaluate and compare the incidence of adverse
events in mitochondrial patients undergoing a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure up to 48
hours post anesthesia. The secondary outcome is to compare the metabolic derangements between
three study groups by comparing changes in blood sugar, serum pH, serum bicarbonate, serum
lactate and serum pyruvate levels before, during and after anesthesia in the groups.
