| Pharmacodynamics of all drugs used will be explored in all included preterm neonates. Drug specific effects of drugs (e.g. pain scores for morphine, blood pressure for dopamine) as well as side effects and short term effects on morbidity and outcome will be analyzed. Additional pharmacodynamic endpoints for 8 of the 9 study drugs is the Drug target concentration for each drug that is related to the desired effect. Fluconazole will only be studied for the PK. The parameters to measure the effect of the drugs: a) Fentanyl and paracetamol, used as analgetics; clinical endpoint is pain relief, as routinely measured by the validated COMFORTneo scale and the NRS scale. b) Midazolam, phenobarbital and levetiracetam, used as anticonvulsive drugs; clinical endpoint is control of convulsions, measured by Cerebral Function Monitoring using amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG). c) Midazolam and fentanyl, used as a sedative drug during endotracheal intubation; clinical endpoint is the intubation readiness score (IRS) and a qualitative intubation score and sedation score. d) Midazolam and fentanyl, used as a sedative drug during nursing care is measured by the COMFORTneo scale. e) Doxapram, used as treatment for neonatal apnea; clinical endpoint is control of neonatal apnea and endotracheal intubation in case of failure. The first endpoint can be measured by modern monitoring technology, in which central post-monitoring data stored after initiation of treatment will reveal the effect of doxapram on the reduction or elimination of apneas. f) Sildenafil, a treatment for PPHN; clinical endpoints are level of ventilatory support, oxygen need (repetitive oxygenation index analyses) and BPD development. g) Ibuprofen, a treatment for PDA; clinical endpoint is closure of the ductus arteriosus. Echocardiographic imaging allows the measurement of the diameter of the ductus and to calculate the LA/AO ratio (left atrial to aortic root ratio). Inter- and intra-patient | — |
