The Use Of A Calcium‐Channel Blocker, Nicardipine, For Severely Asphyxiated Newborn Infants

Abstract: SUMMARY A continuous infusion of nicardipine was given to four severely asphyxiated fullterm infants who were at high risk for adverse outcome and had abnormal cerebral Doppler haemodynamic studies. The heart rate increased in all four infants and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) fell in three. Two infants had a sudden and marked fall in MAP, together with severe impairment of skin blood‐flow and a concurrent fall in cerebral blood‐flow velocity. The serum level of nicardipine was <40ng/mL in all cases. The … Show more

“…Potentially dangerous haemodynamic side effects also limit the use of calcium channel antagonists in infants 214 . Although the anticonvulsant phenobarbital has been shown to augment the neuroprotective effect of therapeutic hypothermia in the neonatal rat 215 , a reduction in neurogenesis in the neonatal brain secondary to phenobarbital use was recently reported 216 .…”

“…Several papers have been published on possible neuroprotective agents, both in animal studies, and studies in asphyxiated children [10][11][12][13] . The most promising intervention strategy so far is the use of therapeutic hypothermia [14] .…”

“…The number of reported cases is small and the clinical trials have either a small number of patients or they are retrospective [54][55][56][57][58]. In any reported situations nicardipine was effective and well-tolerated.…”
