Abstract :
The medical community has long been aware
of infant distress, which typically happens in a hospital
context. It has become clear that many newborns
admitted to the neonatal critical care unit are not
receiving enough therapy for stress and discomfort
because both premature and full-term infants experience
pain. The use of enhanced management techniques to
decrease stress and pain whenever possible and to offer
fast and effective treatment when suffering cannot be
avoided is supported by both scientific and
humanitarian reasons. At Kasturba Hospital in Manipal,
Karnataka, between October 2012 and September 2013,
parents of 128 term newborns who had been evaluated
for eligibility took part in the study after giving their
informed consent. The infants were all congenitally
healthy and free of abnormalities.
According to this study, 24% sucrose performs
better than 10% dextrose as an analgesic for procedural
pain in term neonates. The physiological parameters of
all 128 neonates were recorded, including heart rate,
oxygen saturation, total cry time, and pain evaluation
using the NIPS score. Only 78 newborns' salivary
cortisol levels were investigated. The following criteria
revealed no discernible differences between the 24%
sucrose and 10% dextrose in terms of reducing babies'
procedural pain. The median total cry duration for both
operations was shorter in the 24% sucrose group than in
the 10% dextrose group.
For heel lancing, 24% sucrose significantly
decreased discomfort in 37.5% of infants at 1 minute,
87.5% of neonates at 3 minutes, and 22.5 seconds vs. 130
seconds for venipuncture, compared to 10% dextrose.
This implies that 24% sucrose, as opposed to 10%
dextrose, works better as an analgesic for procedural
pain in term babies.
