Pain relief and muscle relaxant for newborn breathing tube placement
Treatments studied
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests two medicines (fentanyl for pain and rocuronium for muscle relaxation) to see which works better for placing a breathing tube in newborns. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more comfortable for your baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a newborn (up to 28 days old or born before 44 weeks corrected age).
- Your baby needs to have a breathing tube placed in a planned, non-emergency situation.
- Your baby cannot have any major airway problems (like a small jaw or cleft palate).
- Your baby must be stable enough (not in shock or severely unstable due to a heart condition).
- Your baby must not have received a muscle relaxant in the last 24 hours.
- A parent or legal guardian must sign a consent form.

This study tests a new way to give a nasal spray of fentanyl (a strong painkiller) to premature babies before their routine eye exams for ROP. It aims to see if this medicine reduces pain and discomfort during the exam better than current standard care.
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 compares a new muscle relaxant medication with a standard one to see how well they work for placing a breathing tube and maintaining muscle relaxation during surgery. It aims to find a safer or more effective option for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
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.
This trial compares giving fentanyl as a nasal spray versus an injection to help preterm babies during painful procedures like placing a central line, inserting a breathing tube, or a spinal tap. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This study tests two different muscle relaxant drugs—rocuronium and succinylcholine—to see which one helps doctors place a breathing tube faster during emergency anesthesia. It may be a good fit for people who need general anesthesia for surgery and have either a high body mass index or a difficult airway.
