Description

Introduction

• While neonatal electrocardiograms (ECGs) are typically read, QTc can be difficult to assess due to immense variability within the first week of life
• In neonates with in utero opioid exposure, there was no difference in mean QTc between those receiving placebo or ondansetron for five days post-delivery in a clinical trial (NCT01965704)
