Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to explore the optimal propofol dose in neonates receiving a single intravenous propofol bolus for endotracheal intubation during (semi-)elective INSURE (intubation-surfactant-extubation) procedure (preterm neonates) and (semi-)elective non-INSURE procedures (term-preterm neonates).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of propofol (short acting anesthetic) in 50 neonates to whom the drug is administered as a intravenous bolus. This is part of routine clinical care in patients receiving (semi-) elective intubation. It's the aim to explore the most effective IV propofol dose for a successful INSURE (intubation, surfactant, extubation) procedure and for successful (semi-) elective intubation in non-INSURE procedures. We hereby aim to define the most optimal dose regimen for propofol in neonates.

Intubation condition score was assessed retrospectively by the intubating physician.

propofol

All patients receive propofol. Dose will be defined based on response of previous patient in the same stratum.

Group Type OTHER

propofol administration

Intervention Type DRUG

Single IV bolus propofol start at 1 mg/kg. Dose will be adapted based on predefined scoring systems with +/-0.5 mg/kg.
