Medicines for newborn breathing tube placement
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests using two medicines (fentanyl for pain and rocuronium to relax muscles) to help newborns in the NICU get a breathing tube placed more comfortably and safely. It may help if your baby needs a planned breathing tube and is otherwise stable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is in the NICU and is less than 28 days old or born before 44 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby needs a breathing tube placed in a planned, non-emergency situation (at least 5 minutes to prepare).
- Your baby does not have any airway problems like a small jaw or cleft palate.
- Your baby is not allergic to fentanyl (a pain medicine) or rocuronium (a muscle relaxant).
- Your baby does not have a serious heart condition, severe instability, or withdrawal symptoms from drugs.

This study tests whether fentanyl (a pain medicine given as a nasal spray) can help preterm babies feel less pain during a routine eye exam for retinopathy of prematurity. It is designed for babies who are stable and need this exam as part of their NICU care.
This trial tests if a training program helps doctors intubate newborns faster using a video laryngoscope. It could mean less time without breathing for your baby during an emergency procedure.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This trial compares two medicines—remifentanil and rocuronium—to see which helps doctors place a breathing tube more easily during anesthesia. It may help you if you are having routine surgery and need a tube for breathing support.
This study tests whether giving extra oxygen through a small tube in the nose during placement of a breathing tube helps young children stay safer. It is for newborns and infants up to about 1 year old who need a breathing tube for surgery or other non-emergency procedures.
This trial tests whether adding lidocaine or sufentanil to a standard anesthetic drug (etomidate) helps reduce the dose of remifentanil needed to place a breathing tube comfortably. It may help patients undergoing planned surgery with general anesthesia.
