Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • effectiveness of dexmedetomidine in achieving sedation for LISA procedure

    evaluation of changes in Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) score (0-2 points= no pain, 3-4 points = moderate pain; \> 4 = severe pain)

    basal (before procedure), during and immediately after the procedure

  • Safety of dexmedetomidine in sedating preterm infants

    evaluation of number of apneas ( \> 20 seconds or \< 20 seconds with bradycardia \< 100 bpm or desaturation ( SpO2 \< 85%)); number of severe apnea and bradycardia (defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics Guidelines as apnea \> 30 seconds and/or heart rate \< 60 beats/minute for more than 10 seconds); need for intubation.

    24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • number of laryngoscopies needed to perform LISA

    during the procedure

  • time needed to perform LISA

    during the procedure

  • Intubation conditions

    during the procedure

  • the evolution of cardiorespiratory parameters

    1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min and 120 min after the first drug injection

  • the evolution of cardiorespiratory parameters

    1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min and 120 min after the first drug injection

  • +11 more secondary outcomes
