Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Dexmedetomidine (DMT) | Subjects randomized to DMT arm in a 1:1 ratio. A loading dose of 1 mcg/kg will be given followed by 0.1 to 0.5 mcg/kg/h continuous infusion. The Neonatal Pain, Agitation, and Sedation Scale (N-PASS) will be used to determine infusion rate. | 13 | 25 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Morphine | Subjects randomized to morphine in a 1:1 ratio. Intermittent dosing every 3-4 hours of 0.02-0.05 mg/kg/dose or continuous infusion of 0.005 to 0.01 mg/kg/hr. The N-PASS will be used to determine dosing and frequency. | 14 | 23 | OG001 |
