Sedation for agitated ventilated patients: There is insufficient trial data evaluating the use of dexmedetomidine in newborn infants. (LOE IV, dose escalation study)
For sedation with nerve blocks for surgical procedures: Dexmedetomidine sedation loading dose 2-3 microgram/kg with maintenance dose 0.2 microgram/kg/hour with caudal block provides a feasible alternative to general anaesthesia in infants undergoing hernia surgery although supplemental anaesthesia was required in 9.8%. [18] [LOE II neonates]
