[Development of a practical guide for utilization of injectable drugs in neonatology and in pediatrics]. / Elaboration d'un guide pratique d'utilisation des médicaments injectables en néonatalogie et en pédiatrie.

Although medications continue to be used extensively in the hospitalized paediatric patient, our knowledge regarding many of these agents remains limited. To date, apart from anecdotal case reports or studies involving a very limited number of patients, few data regarding the dosing and usage of medications in neonates and paediatric patients are available in the literature. This work has been conducted in order to provide sources of information on the intravenous administration of medication to these patients. All recommendations should be individualised in accordance with the clinical situation.
