==Answer==
Answer c. The elimination half-life of cephalosporins is prolonged. Renal
autoregulation is maintained with inhalational agents. Increased risk of renal
failure with use of sevoflurane and compound A formation has NOT been
demonstrated in infants. Remifentanil metabolism is unaffected by renal or
hepatic function.
