What this trial studies
This national prospective survey evaluates the practices of premedication before laryngoscopy in neonates across French neonatal units. It aims to assess adherence to the recently published best practice guidelines and identify variations in premedication agents, dosing, efficacy, and safety. By gathering data on current practices, the study seeks to enhance the implementation of these guidelines and improve the quality of care for neonates undergoing laryngoscopy. The survey will include neonates who have received premedication or not during the 28-day data collection period.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are neonates with a corrected gestational age of less than 45 weeks who are undergoing laryngoscopy or laryngeal mask insertion.
Not a fit: Patients undergoing laryngoscopy in the operating room or whose parents oppose data collection may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management and safety for neonates undergoing laryngoscopy.
How similar studies have performed: While this study focuses on current practices in France, similar surveys in other regions have shown varying adherence to best practice guidelines, indicating the need for such evaluations.
