A clinical study of oral 25% glucose solution to reduce the pain of premature fundus examination
摘要
Objective: To explore the analgesic effect of oral glucose 25% on preterm and very low birth weight infants for the first time of fundus examination for retinopathy screening.
Methods: Cases of preterm and very low birth weight infants in Guangdong Women and Children’s Hospital NICU from February 2014 to January 2015 were randomly divided into observation group and control group. The observation group was given 1 mL of 25% glucose solution by oral 2 min before the first time of retinopathy screening. The control group was given nothing. Pain was evaluated using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale immediately after the fundus examination in both groups.
Results: The NIPS of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: 1 mL of 25% glucose solution given 2 min before fundus examination for retinopathy of prematurity by oral was an effective measure for pain relief.
