Abstract |
Objective |
Although ketamine analgesia is effective in reducing pain and facilitating the tracheal intubation of newborns in the delivery room, no data on the neurological effects of this treatment are available. This study compared the neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years of age in a cohort of preterm newborns having received ketamine prior to tracheal intubation at birth (the ketamine group) and in a control group.
Methods |
We included newborns delivered at less than 33 weeks gestational age (WGA) having undergone tracheal intubation at birth. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) was completed at 1 and 2 years of age. The development quotient (DQ) was calculated from the revised Brunet-Lezine score assessed at a corrected age of 2 years.
Results |
There were no statistically significant differences between the ketamine group (n=54 at 1 year and n=51 at 2 years) and the control group (n=16 at 1 and 2 years) in terms of the mean±standard deviation DQ at the age of 2 (98±12 vs. 103±9, respectively; P=0.17) and the ASQ score at the age of 2 (221±44 vs. 230±39, respectively; P=0.55).
Discussion |
This prospective cohort of 51 preterm newborns having received ketamine at birth did not reveal any differences in terms of neurological development at the age of 2 (relative to a control group and the literature data). These preliminary results must be confirmed in a randomized trial with longer follow-up.
