Increase of caffeine and decrease of corticosteroids for extremely low-birthweight infants with respiratory failure from 1997 to 2011

“…To date, no guidelines about the use of midazolam have been published by the GNPI, SSN or, to the best of our knowledge, by other societies. However, the results of our survey reflect latest meta‐analyses stating that routine use of opioids and neuromuscular paralysis cannot be recommended for preterm infants on mechanical ventilation .…”

Early Tracheostomy Change in Neonates: Feasibility and Benefits

“…Six studies were included in the review. There were notable adverse effects reported within these studies, including hypotension, hypoxemia, prolong muscle weakness and atrophy, joint contracture, and sensorineural hearing loss 8 . Our study is the first to evaluate the duration of paralytic medications after posttracheostomy placement.…”

The duration of medication usage rather than cumulative dosage was used due to a variability in the types of medication and doses used.…”

Limited professional guidance and literature are available to guide the safe use of neuromuscular block in infants

“…The literature search showed no structured assessment of the depth of NMBA in the 12 publications that were featured in the Cochrane systematic review updated in 2009 . Six of these studies were randomised controlled trials on the use of muscle relaxants in preterm infants that were published more than 20 years ago.…”
