RUAN Liping,LIU Xin.. Observation on the effect of non-nutrient sucking to relieve infant pain during lacrimal irrigation procedure[J]. JOURNAL OF WEZHOU MEDICAL UNIVERSITY, 2014, 44(5): 379-.
Abstract：Objective: To observe the effect of non-nutrient sucking on relieving infant pain during lacrimal irrigation procedure. Methods: One hundred full-term infants requiring lacrimal duct flushing from postnatal 60 days to 90 days were randomly given non-nutrient sucking intervention or routing treatment, the neonatal pain rating scale between two groups was compared, heart rate and blood oxygen level were detected after 5 min. Results: Score of the conventional treatment group was 4.17 +/- 1.26, and of non-nutrient sucking group was 3.08 +/- 1.32 in the lacrimal duct flushing for 1 min, the difference between two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01), there was no statistically significant difference of lacrimal duct flushing for 5 minutes between two groups (P>0.05), the difference of heart rate between two groups after the lacrimal duct flushing for 5 minutes had statistical significances, but the blood oxygen level between the two groups had no statistical differences (P>0.05). Conclusion: Giving the non-nutrient sucking can alleviate pain in infants during lacrimal duct flushing operation, the non-nutrient sucking method is easy to use, and has few side effects, so it can be used in many ophthalmological operations such as lacrimal duct flushing to relieve pain in infant.
