Clinical pharmacology of analgosedatives in neonates: ways to improve their safe and effective use

Abstract: Objectives To propose approaches tailored to the specific needs of neonates, such as structured product development programs, with the ultimate goal to improve the safe and effective use of analgo-sedatives in these fragile patients. Key findings The feasibility and relevance of a structured product development program in neonates (optimal study design based on preliminary data; model development; internal, external and prospective evaluation; an individualized dosing regimen; long term safety; pharmacogenet… Show more

“…Nervous system drugs also showed large variability, which may be a reflection of the variation in drugs mentioned in pain treatment protocols of these four NICUs. This may be explained by the worldwide discussion on the neurodevelopmental safety of nervous system drugs such as opioids, paracetamol and benzodiazepines in the preterm brain . A comparable discussion accounts for the choice of premedication for intubation .…”

“…32,33 Suppression of cortical activity after surfactant treatment with or without premedication and intubation is described, ranging from 10 to 30 min after surfactant, and up to 24 h if premedication with morphine was used. [34][35][36] In the current study, it is impossible to disentangle the impact of intubation or surfactant from propofol on brain activity.…”

“…The large inter‐individual variability regarding PK variables needs to be further investigated to elucidate which individual factors are important. Individualised treatment with fentanyl requires further pharmacogenetic knowledge about important genetic variants influencing metabolism and efficacy of the drug . Further studies with higher bolus doses should be conducted for procedures considered to be too painful for a non‐pharmacological approach.…”
