Pharmacokinetics of Nalbuphine After Intravenous and Intranasal Administration in Infants
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To assess pharmacokinetics parameters for nalbuphine after intravenous and intranasal administration in infants. Also effect on pain score: Neonatal Infant Pain Score (NIPS) and safety will be evaluated with summary of Adverse Events.
Inclusion criteria are: Infants 29 days-3 months, minimum Body weight 3.0 kg, Indications:
septical work up.
Exclusion criteria are: Infants who were born prematurely (before 37 weeks gestation), known kidney or liver disease, known chronic illness.
