Overview

Brief Summary

This prospective, double blinded study investigates spinal anesthesia with or without clonidine added to bupivacaine in newborns. This study is based on duration measurement of spinal anesthesia and cardio respiratory recording during 24h for apnea detection.

Detailed Description

Ex premies and term neonates are two subgroups investigated separately. The overall objective is to validate lengthening of spinal anesthesia in newborns in order to avoid "rescue" general anesthesia that occur in 20-40 % of patients with plain bupivacaine.
