Atropine Versus no Atropine for Neonatal Rapid Sequence Intubation
The purpose of this study is to compare heart rate in infants who receive atropine as a part of their medication before intubation to those who do not. To be able to find out , we need to divided babies into 2 groups; group 1 : receives atropine + sedation + muscle relaxant group 2 : receives water or saline ( placebo group) + sedation + muscle relaxant Then we need to compare heart rate during intubation and duration of intubation between the 2 groups.

Conditions
- Bradycardia
- Hypoxemia
Interventions
- atropine
- Placebo
Primary outcomes
- Heart rate less than 80 BPM and oxygen saturation less than 80% — 5-6 minutes
Heart rate and transcutaneous oxygen saturation will be monitored continuously during the procedure and data will be recorded at 3 stages; 1. 2 minutes prior to intubation (after atropine or placebo dose) 2. during intubation 3. 2 minutes after intubation (once ETT secured to face)
