Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The purpose of this study is to determine what happens to dexmedetomidine in the body after it has been given to a newborn after heart surgery. We want to learn how long the drug stays in the body, how the drug is metabolized by the body, and how well the medicine works at a particular dose or amount.
