Assessment of Efficacy of Sucrose Analgesia in Newborns Undergoing Painful Medical Procedures
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Newborn babies experience pain similarly and probably more intensely than older children and adults.From the neonatal literature, which most frequently examined pain responses to heel lance, it seems that sucrose is a safe, easy-to-administer, inexpensive and effective analgesic for short painful procedures. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the efficacy of sucrose analgesia in newborns undergoing painful medical procedures. Materials & methods: The present study included evaluation of efficacy of sucrose analgesia in newborns undergoing painful medical procedures. 24 percent of sucrose solution was given to newborns under going painful medical procedures .We measured the primary outcome in terms of pain. A validated pain measure was used for assessing the pain. This was followed by calculation of NFCS for each procedure. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software. Results: In the present study, we analyzed a total of 100 newborns. All these subjects were broadly divided into two study groups; the sucrose group and the placebo group. Both the groups were further divided into two subgroups each; non-diabetic mother’s subgroup and diabetic mother’s subgroup. We observed statistically significant results while comparing the NFCS during venepuncture in between the sucrose group and placebo group among all the subgroups. Conclusion: By the use of sucrose statistically significant pain reduction occurs among newborns for painful medical procedures conducted during the first two days of birth.
