Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialAlfentanil as procedural pain relief in newborn infants.
To assess the need for, and the suitability of, alfentanil for pain relief during tracheal suction used in assisted ventilation in newborn infants. ⋯ Tracheal suction is a painful procedure. The dose of alfentanil required for pain relief (20 micrograms/kg) causes a high incidence of rigidity and thus should be used only with muscle relaxant.

Comparative Study Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialComparison of effects of 95% and 90% oxygen saturations in respiratory distress syndrome.
To determine if decreasing arterial blood saturation from 95% to 90% could cause vasoconstriction of the pulmonary vasculature and dilatation of a patent ductus arteriosus in preterm newborn infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). ⋯ A decrease from 95% to 90% SpO2 did not have any effect on the pulmonary circulatory haemodynamics nor the ductus arteriosus.
