Analgesic and sedative drugs in newborns requiring respiratory support

Gina Ancora et al. J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2012 Oct.

Abstract

Infants receiving respiratory assistance may feel pain due to underlying disease or ventilation itself. Pain control during neonatal respiratory care reduces morbidity. This article summarizes the main scientific evidence about the use of drugs during ventilatory assistance, and provides some practical suggestions on pain management in neonates with respiratory support.
