At a Recent course I attended (S.T.A.B.L.E. Instructor) the instructor stated that VERSED is no longer recommended for use in Neonates, (something to do with Increased risk of IVH).
My Unit uses it very often, in fact it is the drug of choice (combined with Fentanyl) for most intubated neonates. We do sometimes use Ativan in place of Versed.
I am wondering what your units policy is, and if you can point me to any specific references/consensus statements that support this claim.
Thanks....
