We aim report on current bedside analgesia/sedation and pain assessment practices, 10 years after the previous Italian survey. Methods This study employed a cross-sectional electronic A 21-item questionnaire was distributed directors of birth centers NICUs ascertain policy for management in respective units....
Summary Background National and international guidelines have been published on pain control prevention in the newborn, but data compliance with these are lacking. Aim To document current hospital practices for analgesia at neonatal intensive care units ( NICU s) 5 years after national were Italy. Methods A computer‐based questionnaire was sent to all registered Italian level II III s investigate their routine practices. Main outcome measures The sedation currently used invasive procedures...
Objective: To ascertain the extent to which neonatal analgesia for invasive procedures has changed in last 5 years since publication of Italian guidelines. Methods: We compared survey data 2004 and 2010 on policy practices common at Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs); 75 NICUs answered questionnaires both formed object this analysis. Results: By 2010, procedural pain had improved significantly almost all (p < 0.05), with non-pharmacological pharmacological methods being adopted by...

BackgroundAcute pain and distress during medical procedures are commonplace in newborn admitted to Intensive Care Unit can have detrimental effects, if uncontrolled.Accumulating evidence suggests that neonate, as older children, could benefice of non pharmacological interventions (NPIs) relive mild moderate pain, anxiety discomfort from minor invasive procedures.[1] These therapies include nonnutritive sucking (NNS) both with without sucrose, swaddling, positioning, facilitated tucking (FT),...

Material and methods To assess efficacy safety of PIs for procedural pain in neonate, a literature search covering the period 20002015 via Medline Cochrane Library database, was undertaken. were evaluated relation to intubation (INT), mechanical ventilation (MV)and postoperative analgesia (POp) preterm fullterm infants. Efficacy controlling distress assessed on validated scores as PIPP, DAN, CRIES, EDIN etc. Safety reduced morbidity Adverse Effects (AEs) reported. The authorsratedthe level...
