Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Midazolam sedation in mechanically ventilated newborns: a double blind randomized placebo controlled trial.
To determine efficacy of midazolam as a sedative in mechanically ventilated newborns. ⋯ Sedation provided by continuous infusion of midazolam and morphine appears to be comparable to morphine alone in newborn babies on mechanical ventilation, with no significant adverse effects. The course of mechanical ventilation is not influenced by use of midazolam.
