Abstract | Aim: This study aimed to assess the safety of a commonly used sedative, dexmedetomidine in neonates and infants during intensive care. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the paediatric intensive care unit at Oulu University Hospital. The study population consisted of all children from birth up to 6 months of age who received dexmedetomidine during 2010-2016. Adverse cardiovascular outcomes were defined as abnormal heart rates or blood pressure values according to the Paediatric Early Warning Score. Results: Of the 172 infants, 56% had congenital malformation, and 48% had undergone surgery. Neonates and 1-3-month-olds experienced bradycardia (86% vs. 73% in 1-3-month-olds and 50% in 3-6-month-olds, p = 0.001) and severe bradycardia (17% vs. 14% in 1-3-month-olds and 0% in 3-6-month-olds, p = 0.005) more often than older patients. The median maximum rate of dexmedetomidine infusion was 0.86 μg/kg/h (IQR = 0.60-1.71 μg/kg/h). A dose-dependent increase in bradycardia and severe hypotension was found. Adverse cardiovascular events were managed with additional fluid boluses and discontinuation of the infusion. Conclusion: Adverse cardiovascular events were common during dexmedetomidine administration in neonates and infants. Lower dexmedetomidine doses may be required in sedating neonates. |
