Is [Dexmeditomidine] safe and more effective than standard sedatives for [sedation] in [neonates] on mechanical ventilator?A two day old term neonate with meconium aspiration syndrome is on mechanical ventilation in a level III neonatal unit. He is diagnosed to have PPHN with a possibility to remain on the ventilator at least for another 24 hours. We know that dexmedetomidine is used in the paediatric intensive care units for sedation. But, can it be used in neonates?
