    AbstractSedatives are frequently administered in neonatal intensive care to induce sleep for diagnostic and radiology procedures, calm irritable infants, manage pain-related agitation, and enhance ventilation. The pharmacology and side effects of sedatives commonly used with neonates will be reviewed and placed within the context of their potential effect on neonatal development. Alternative caregiving strategies to minimize or eliminate the need for sedation will be discussed.
