Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation Clinical research trials and Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation. Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Study of Morphine in Postoperative Infants to Allow Normal Ventilation
For Condition: Infant, Newborn, Diseases,Pain
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): FDA Office of Orphan Products Development , Children's Hospital and Medical Center - Seattle
Synopsis: OBJECTIVES: I. Compare nonmechanically ventilated infants who receive morphine postoperatively as intermittent intravenous bolus doses or as a continuous intravenous infusion targeted to reach a steady-state concentration. II. Assess ventilation (blood gases, continuous oximetry, and CO2 response curves) and analgesia (infant pain score) between the two treatment groups of infants. III. Compare ventilation parameters (blood gases, CO2 response curves, and time to wean from assisted mechanical ventilation) in cyanotic and acyanotic infants after thoracotomies.
Details: PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a two part study. Infants are stratified by age (1-30 days vs 31-180 days vs 181-365 days) and by type of surgery. Infants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms. In part I, following major thoracic, abdominal, or cardiac surgery, infants are randomized to receive either continuous IV morphine infusions (arm I) or to receive morphine by single IV bolus doses every 2-3 hours (arm II). In part II, cyanotic and acyanotic infants following thoracotomy receive morphine by 2 loading doses over 15 minutes and then by continuous IV infusion. Patients are followed for at least 2 days.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Interventional, Educational/Counseling/Training, Randomized
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: /1 Year
Genders: Both
Protocol Entry Criteria: PROTOCOL ENTRY CRITERIA: --Disease Characteristics-- - Infants scheduled for surgery with postoperative inpatient care - Must be born after 35 weeks or more gestational age - No prenatal opiate exposure Part I patients: - Less than 12 months of age undergoing surgeries involving major thoracic, abdominal, or cardiac procedures - No pneumonectomy, tracheal or bronchial stenosis reconstruction, diaphragmatic hernia repair, or surgeries resulting in high intraabdominal pressure (closure of large gastroschisis or omphalocele defects) - No hepatic or renal transplantation Part II patients: - Less than 3 months of age undergoing surgeries using a thoracotomy approach - Cyanotic congenital heart disease having palliative systemic to pulmonary artery shunts created OR Thoracotomy for repair of acyanotic lesions (e.g., repairs of coarctation of the aorta, tracheoesophageal fistula repair, PDA ligation) --Patient Characteristics-- - Age: Part I: Less than 12 months Part II: Less than 3 months - Hepatic: Normal hepatic function tests - Renal: Normal renal function tests - Pulmonary: No pulmonary disease causing baseline hypercarbia - No pulmonary hypertension contraindicating use of 5% CO2 in rebreathing studies Other: - No allergy to morphine - No severe developmental delay that precludes analgesia scoring
