Summary
This study tested whether adding dexmedetomidine to the standard painkiller fentanyl could reduce the amount of fentanyl needed in full-term newborns on breathing machines. Forty infants were enrolled. The goal was to see if the combination could keep babies comfortable with less strong medicine and fewer side effects like slow heart rate or low blood pressure.
