Why the study?
Does intravenous fentanyl depress baroreceptor reflex control of heart rate in mechanically ventilated neonates?
Does intravenous fentanyl depress baroreceptor reflex control of heart rate in mechanically ventilated neonates?
Intravenous fentanyl markedly depresses baroreflex control of heart rate in term neonates, highlighting the need for careful blood pressure monitoring during fentanyl anesthesia since cardiac output is rate-dependent in newborns.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Fentanyl may impair baroreflex heart-rate control in neonates; leaves open whether monitoring protocols improve outcomes.
Murat et al. (1988) studied this question.
