Brief Summary

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

This study aims to describe a dose-effect relationship of morphine alone and morphine and midazolam administered as continuous infusion in neonates hospitalized in Neonatal intensive care unit and undergoing mechanical ventilation, through PKPD modelling.

Detailed Description

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

This study will include all neonates receiving a sedo-analgesia with continuous infusion of morphine alone or morphine and midazolam during mechanical ventilation in 3 French NICUs. Comfort and pain will be assessed by COMFORTneo pain scores and Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation Index. Morphine, midazolam and their metabolites' concentrations will be determined on samples taken during a planned blood test. Through PKPD modelling, the dose-concentration-effect relationships will be found and interindividual variability of these drugs in neonates and simulate doses needed to achieve comfort in neonates according to their individual characteristics (gestational age, post-natal age, weight etc.).
