Pain relief with levobupivacaine in newborns

Phase 1
Conditions
The primary aim of study is to determine PK and PD of levobupivacaine in newborns (premature included). And discover or decline of LA cumulation.The secondary aim of the study is to obtain enough information about decrease of opiate doses, occurrence of side effects of c-CELA, occurrence of tolerance, hyperalgesia and withdrawal syndrome associated with opiates.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The primary aim of study is to determine PK and PD of levobupivacaine in newborns (premature included). And discover or decline of LA cumulation.;Secondary Objective: The secondary aim of the study is to obtain enough information about decrease of opiate doses, occurrence of side effects of c-CELA, occurrence of tolerance, hyperalgesia and withdrawal syndrome associated with opiates. That could be a base for possibly following study or meta-analysis comparing use of c-CELA and opiates and show benefits of c-CELA and clarify its influence on opiate AE incidence and perhaps outcome of critically ill newborns.;Primary end point(s): The primary aim of study is to determine PK and PD of levobupivacaine in newborns (premature included). And discover or decline of LA cumulation.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days follow-up
