- Abstract
Bakgrund: Smärta hos barn i samband med procedurer i sjukvården är ett vanligt problem som sjuksköterskan hanterar. Hos barn är smärta tydligt kopplat till rädsla och otrygghet. Syfte: Att kartlägga icke-farmakologiska metoder för att hantera procedursmärta hos barn. Metod: En litteraturstudie med systematisk ansats som studerar kvantitativa studier. Resultat: Tio vetenskapliga studier på ämnet icke-farmakologiska metoder att hantera procedursmärta hos barn i åldern 2–10 år inkluderades i analysen. Smärthanteringsmetoderna kategoriserades under rubrikerna aktiva distraktionsmetoder, passiva distraktionsmetoder och fysikaliska metoder. De aktiva distraktionsmetoderna att barnet blåser såpbubblor eller spelar spel på surfplatta/smartphone eller virtual reality och användning av de fysikaliska metoderna vibration kombinerat med kyla i den medicintekniska produkten Buzzy, visade god evidens. Vidare forskning på ämnet passiv distraktion med sjukhusclowner och effekten av utformningen på sjuksköterskors arbetskläder är önskvärt. Aktiv distraktion visade lovande resultat och vidare kartläggning rekommenderas. Slutsats: Hantering av procedursmärta bör inkludera barns lek med såpbubblor, spel på surfplatta/smartphone, lek med distraktionskort samt de fysikaliska metoderna vibration och kyla., Background: Pain in children associated with procedures in healthcare is a common problem that nurses deal with. In children, pain is clearly linked to fear and insecurity. Aim: To map non-pharmacological methods to manage procedural pain in children. Method: A literature study with a systematic approach that studies quantitative studies. Results: Ten scientific studies on the topic of non-pharmacological methods of managing procedural pain in children aged 2–10 years were included in the analysis. The pain management methods were categorized under the headings active distraction methods, passive distraction methods and physical methods. The active distraction methods of the child blowing soap bubbles or playing games on a tablet/smartphone or virtual reality and using the physical methods vibration combined with cold in the medical device Buzzy, showed good evidence. Further research on the topic of passive distraction with hospital clowns and the effect of the design on nurses' work clothes is desirable. Active distraction showed promising results and further survey is recommended. Conclusion: Management of procedural pain should include children's play with soap bubbles, tablet/smartphone games, distraction card play, and the physical methods of vibration and cold.

- Abstract
Bakgrund Barns smärta utgörs av många olika dimensioner, och har länge varit ett eftersatt område som har präglats av myter och missuppfattningar. Barn som uppsöker sjukvården och som genomgår smärtsamma procedurer är särskilt utsatta då kommunikationen med ett barn måste anpassas i samband med vårdbesöket. Sjuksköterskan bör förstå komplexiteten kring att behandla smärta hos ett barn och vilka faktorer som utgör en smärtupplevelse samt vad smärta innebär. Barn är inte små vuxna och detta är av stor vikt för en sjuksköterska att förstå i samband med omvårdnaden när ett barn behöver uppsöka sjukvården. Syfte Syftet var att undersöka icke-farmakologiska omvårdnadsåtgärder vid procedursmärta hos barn. Metod Detta arbete redovisas med hjälp av en icke-systematiska litteraturöversikt där resultatet baserats utifrån 16 originalartiklar med kvantitativ ansats. Artiklarna som inkluderades inhämtades från databaserna CINAHL och PubMed med hjälp av sökord i olika kombinationer som var relevanta för att besvara syftet. Artiklarnas kvalitet granskades sedan med hjälp av en kvalitétsgranskningsmall. En integrerad dataanalys användes för att sammanställa resultatet. Resultat I resultatsammanställningen identifierades två huvudkategorier samt fem underkategorier för att strukturera upp samt för att kunna besvara syftet. Att barns smärta är komplex och flerdimensionell tyder på att ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt är av stor vikt och att anpassningar bör göras utifrån ålder och barnets mognadsgrad när det kommer till vilka icke-farmakologiska åtgärder som bör användas under procedurer. Att ta hjälp av rätt verktyg leder till en minskad smärtupplevelse samt minskar även oro och ångest som barn upplever när de genomgår en smärtsam procedur. Slutsats Denna litteraturöversikt visar på värdefulla metoder och distraktionstekniker som sjuksköterskor kan och bör använda sig av för att minska procedursmärta, ångest och oro hos barn. Att barn får möjlighet att bli distraherade under proc, Background Children's pain consists of many different dimensions and has long been a neglected area that has been characterized by myths. Children seeking medical care and undergoing painful procedures are particularly vulnerable as communication with a child must be adapted. The nurse should understand the complexity of treating pain in a child and what factors make up a pain experience and what pain means. Children are not small adults, and this is of great importance for a nurse to understand in connection with the care when a child needs to seek medical care. Aim The aim was to investigate non-pharmacological nursing interventions for procedural pain in children. Method This work is presented using a non-systematic literature review where the results are based on 16 original articles with quantitative approach. The articles used were retrieved from the databases CINAHL and PubMed using keywords in various combinations. The quality of the articles was then reviewed using a quality review template. An integrated data analysis was used to compile the results. Results In the summary of results, two main categories were identified and five subcategories to give the result a structure to answer the purpose of the study. Children's pain is complex and multidimensional suggests that a person-centered approach is of great importance and that adjustments should be made based on the age and maturity of the child when it comes to which non-pharmacological measures should be used during procedures. Conclusions This literature review demonstrates valuable methods and distraction techniques that nurses can and should use to reduce procedural pain, anxiety and worry in children. That children could be distracted during procedures, regardless of the technology used, is valuable for the overall experience and future care encounters.

- Abstract
Att smärtlindra sederade intensivvårdspatienter vid procedurer är något som intensivvårdssjuksköterskor utför dagligen på sina arbetsplatser. Att behandla smärta är viktigt för patientens välmående samtidigt som att bedöma smärta hos en sederad patient upplevs svårare än att bedöma smärta hos en vaken patient. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att beskriva intensivvårdssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att smärtlindra sederade intensivvårdspatienter vid procedurrelaterad smärta. Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie med ett induktivt förhållningssätt. Nio legitimerade sjuksköterskor med specialistutbildning inom intenssivsjukvård intervjuades till studien. Intervjuerna analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Urval: Inklusionskriterierna var legitimerad sjuksköterska med specialistutbildning inom intensivsjukvård och en arbetslivserfarenhet av minst tre år vid en intensivvårdsavdelning samt en vilja att berätta sina erfarenheter. Resultat: Analysprocessen gav fyra kategorier: Utmaningen att bedöma smärta, Att förebygga smärta inför procedurer, Att smärtlindra den sederade patienten vid procedurer, Samarbete och kommunikation. Slutsats: Intensivvårdssjuksköterskor använder sig av observation av patienten och sina tidigare erfarenheter för att tolka och bedöma smärta hos patienten. Studien betonar även vikten av att samarbeta i teamet runt patienten för att förebygga smärta vid olika procedurer., Presentation skett via Zoom 9/6

- Abstract
Bakgrund: Nålrelaterade procedurer är vanligt förekommande inom barnsjukvården och är något som orsakar lidande för barn. Om detta lidande inte förebyggs eller lindras adekvat kan det leda till stickrädsla. Sjuksköterskan har en skyldighet att vidta omvårdnadsåtgärder utefter barnets behov och därför är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan besitter kunskap om vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder som lindrar lidande hos barn vid venprovtagning och insättning av perifer venkateter (PVK-sättning). Syfte: Att beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder som lindrar lidande hos barn vid venprovtagning och PVK-sättning. Metod: Litteraturstudien baserades på 14 kvantitativa originalartiklar som har kvalitetsgranskats. Resultatet har därefter analyserats genom att identifiera data, organisera data i olika kategorier samt summera och analysera detta, vilket resulterade i tre huvudkategorier: fysisk distraktion, aktiv distraktion och passiv distraktion. Resultat: Litteraturstudiens resultat visade att fysisk distraktion hade en lindrande effekt på smärta, oro och rädsla i samband med venprovtagning och PVK-sättning i ett flertal av studierna. Likaså hade aktiva och passiva distraktionsmetoder en betydande positiv effekt hos barnen i samband med procedurerna. Slutsats: Med hänsyn till distraktionsmetodernas påvisade effekt bör sjuksköterskan individanpassa omvårdnadsåtgärder och använda sig av dessa distraktionsmetoder i samband med venprovtagning och PVK-sättning., Background: Needle related procedures are common in pediatric healthcare and causes suffering to the child. If this suffering is not adequately prevented or treated, a fear of needles could be developed. The nurse is responsible to take nursing measures according to the child's needs. Thus, it is important that the nurse has knowledge of which nursing measures that relieves suffering in children during venipuncture and intravenous insertion (IV-insertion). Aim: To describe nursing measures that relieve suffering in children during venipuncture or IV-insertion. Method: The literature study was based on 14 original quantitative articles. The articles were quality reviewed and then analyzed. The analysis consisted of identifying data, organizing and categorizing data and then summarizing and analyzing the result. The result was presented in three main categories: physical distraction, active distraction and passive distraction. Result: It was found that physical distraction had a relieving effect on pain, anxiety and fear during and after the venipuncture and IV-insertion in several studies. Likewise, active and passive distraction methods had a positive effect on the children during and after the procedure. Conclusion: Considering the effect of the distraction methods, the nurse should individualize the nursing measures during venipuncture and IV-insertion.

In adolescents, concrete thinking may present as avoidance of an immediate, painful or uncomfortable experience despite long-term benefits, which may affect contraceptive choice. In this pilot study, we sought to better understand the pain that adolescents and young adults experience during contraceptive implant insertion. In this cohort study, we surveyed 30 adolescents and young adults at their implant insertion visit about pre-procedure anxiety and pain experienced during lidocaine injection and Nexplanon™ placement. The average pre-procedure anxiety (Visual Analog Scale−Anxiety) score was 40 ± 29 mm. The average pain reported during lidocaine injection was 19 ± 21 mm and 6 ± 11 mm for implant insertion. Pre-procedure anxiety was not associated with pain during lidocaine injection (P =.61) or implant placement (P =.85). Pain scores were low with both lidocaine injection and implant placement. Pre-procedure anxiety did not predict pain during lidocaine or implant placement. Patients considering an implant should be reassured by these data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Background There exist many evidence-based interventions available to manage procedural pain in children and neonates, yet they are severely underutilized. Parents play an important role in the management of their child’s pain; however, many do not possess adequate knowledge of how to effectively do so. The purpose of the planned study is to systematically review and synthesize current knowledge of the experiences and information needs of parents with regard to the management of their child’s pain and distress related to medical procedures in the emergency department. Methods We will conduct a systematic review using rigorous methods and reporting based on the PRISMA statement. We will conduct a comprehensive search of literature published between 2000 and 2016 reporting on parents’ experiences and information needs with regard to helping their child manage procedural pain and distress. Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid PsycINFO, CINAHL, and PubMed will be searched. We will also search reference lists of key studies and gray literature sources. Two reviewers will screen the articles following inclusion criteria defined a priori. One reviewer will then extract the data from each article following a data extraction form developed by the study team. The second reviewer will check the data extraction for accuracy and completeness. Any disagreements with regard to study inclusion or data extraction will be resolved via discussion. Data from qualitative studies will be summarized thematically, while those from quantitative studies will be summarized narratively. The second reviewer will confirm the overarching themes resulting from the qualitative and quantitative data syntheses. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Qualitative Research Checklist and the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies will be used to assess the quality of the evidence from each included study. Discussion To our knowledge, no published review exists that comprehensively reports on the experiences and information needs of parents related to the management of their child’s procedural pain and distress. A systematic review of parents’ experiences and information needs will help to inform strategies to empower them with the knowledge necessary to ensure their child’s comfort during a painful procedure.

To summarise the story, procedural pain management does not only have humane aspect in paediatric population, but it also prevents numerous complications, child’s negative attitude in following contacts with medical staff, percentage of chronic pain suffering patients, as well as cost of the treatment itself. Good pain assessment contributes to the prevention and/or early recognition of pain as well as the effective management of pain.When managing procedural pain in infants, older children and adolescents, not only proven analgesic strategies are important, but also suitable preparatory measures that contribute to reduction in anticipatory and procedural anxiety. Families, play therapists, nursing staff, and other team members should be included.

OBJECTIVE: Whether parental presence during their children's painful medical procedures is advantageous with regard to child's pain-related outcomes is questionable. Research regarding this topic is equivocal and additional questions, such as whether levels of parental involvement may play a role as well, remain to be assessed. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize and critically appraise the literature regarding the impact of parental presence versus absence during their children's painful medical procedures on the child's pain-related outcomes.METHODS: The review protocol was registered on Prospero (ID CRD42018116614). A systematic search in PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycArticles resulted in 22 eligible studies incorporating 2157 participants. Studies were considered eligible if they included children (≤ 18 years old) undergoing a painful medical procedure and compared parental presence and/or involvement with parental absence during the procedure.RESULTS: The children's pain-related outcomes included self-reported pain intensity, self-reported fear, anxiety and distress, observed pain-related behavior, and physiological parameters. Overall, evidence points in the direction of beneficial effects of parental presence versus absence with regard to children's self-reported pain intensity and physiological parameters, whereas mixed findings were recorded for children's self-reported fears, anxiety and distress, and observed pain-related behaviors.CONCLUSIONS: : In order to provide clear recommendations on how to involve the parent during the procedure, as well as for which type of children and parents parental presence has the best effects, further research is needed, as indicated in this review.

Squillaro, Anthony, Mahdi, Elaa M., Tran, Nhu, Lakshmanan, Ashwini, Kim, Eugene, and Kelley-Quon, Lorraine I.
- Abstract
Pain in the neonate is often challenging to assess but important to control. Physicians often must balance the need for optimal pain control with the need to minimize oversedation and prolonged opioid use. Both inadequate pain control and overuse of opioids can have long-term consequences, including poor developmental outcomes. The aim of this review is to introduce a comprehensive approach to pain management for physicians, nurses, and surgeons caring for critically ill neonates, focusing on nonopioid alternatives to manage procedural pain. After review, categories of opioid-sparing interventions identified included (1) nonopioid pharmacologic agents, (2) local and regional anesthesia, and (3) nonpharmacologic alternatives. Nonopioid pharmacologic agents identified for neonatal use included acetaminophen, NSAIDs, dexmedetomidine, and gabapentin. Local and regional anesthesia included neuraxial blockade (spinals and epidurals), subcutaneous injections, and topical anesthesia. Nonpharmacologic agents uniquely available in the neonatal setting included skin-to-skin care, facilitated tucking, sucrose, breastfeeding, and nonnutritive sucking. The use of various pharmacologic and interventional treatments for neonatal pain management allows for the incorporation of opioid-sparing techniques in neonates who are already at risk for poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. A multifactorial approach to pain control is paramount to optimize periprocedural comfort and to minimize the negative sequelae of uncontrolled pain in the neonate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aim: This study explored the interaction between child and hospital clown during recurrent hospitalizations for repeated pain‐related procedures and conditions. Background: Despite improvements in the management of pain in hospitalized children, procedural pain in particular is a common experience for hospitalized children, and they continue to report undertreated pain. Hospital clowns are widely used as a nonpharmacological intervention in hospitalized children. Little research has examined the influence of hospital clowns during recurrent hospitalizations on repeated painful procedures. Design and methods: Ethnographic fieldwork using focused ethnography was conducted. Data were collected during October–December 2017 using participant observation and informal interviews with children at one pediatric unit at a Danish university hospital. Data include 61 interactions between children aged 4–14 years and hospital clowns. The participants comprised 13 children undergoing recurrent hospitalizations. The data were coded using thematic analysis, and the research team verified the resulting themes. Results: The overarching theme was defined as An ongoing WE, based on two identified themes, that is, Stronger in a WE and Hope in the WE. The WE was characterized by a responsive interaction between the child and clown, which evolved over the course of an ongoing relationship. Conclusion: This study demonstrates how an ongoing WE was constructed with children during repeated painful procedures and conditions. Specifically, the study emphasizes the importance of developing a trusting relationship on the child's terms. Children seemed to experience enhanced coping with painful procedures during the recurring hospital clown encounters, thus reinforcing their competence and hope for coping with future painful procedures. These findings may improve psychosocial care for hospitalized children undergoing repeated painful procedures and conditions and may facilitate multidisciplinary initiatives, such as nurses' advocacy for the inclusion of hospital clowns during recurrent hospitalizations for repeated painful procedures to ensure optimal pain management.

BACKGROUND: The intranasal route is a minimally invasive method for rapidly delivering midazolam and fentanyl to provide short-term analgesia and sedation in infants. However, intranasal use of midazolam and fentanyl is not labeled for infants and safety data are sparse. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of intranasal midazolam and intranasal fentanyl in infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). METHODS: We retrospectively identified all infants receiving intranasal midazolam or fentanyl in the NICU from 2009 to 2015. We recorded indication for use and vital signs and determined the proportion of infants experiencing the following adverse events: death within 24 hours, hypotension, bradycardia, worsening respiratory status, and chest wall rigidity. Vital signs 4 hours before and after each dose were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: We identified 17 infants (gestational ages 23– 41 weeks) receiving 25 intranasal doses. None of the infants died or developed hypotension, bradycardia, or chest wall rigidity. Intranasal delivery was most commonly used for sedation during magnetic resonance imaging studies. Other indications include analgesia or sedation for retinopathy of prematurity surgery, intubation, and peripherally inserted central catheter placement. One infant receiving intranasal midazolam experienced worsening respiratory status. Vital signs before and after dosing were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS: Intranasal midazolam and fentanyl use in term and preterm infants appeared safe and well-tolerated in this small cohort of infants. Larger, prospective studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of intranasal midazolam and fentanyl use in infants are warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Context: Leukemia is the most common cancer in the childhood population. Lumbar puncture (LP) plays central role in the diagnosis and treatment process, but options for analgesia are limited.Objectives: The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a fixed N2O/O2 mixture to reduce pain in children with leukemia during LP as compared with placebo.Methods: A double-blind, placebo-controlled, and randomized clinical trial involving children who needed LP for diagnosis or treatment was conducted in the pediatrics department of the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to inhale either a fixed N2O/O2 mixture or O2. The primary endpoint was the maximal pain level felt by the patient during the procedure measured using a numerical rating scale (0-10).Results: One-hundred fourteen consecutive patients were enrolled in this study and randomized. Pain scores during the procedure showed a significant decrease in N2O/O2 mixture-treated patients to 1.05 ± 1.40 versus 8.00 ± 2.13 in controls (P < 0.01). No serious adverse effects were attributed to N2O/O2 mixture inhalation. Analysis of the satisfaction of patients receiving N2O/O2 mixture indicated that medical staff were satisfied with this treatment.Conclusions: This study demonstrated that self-administered fixed N2O/O2 is efficient to reduce pain related to LP in children with leukemia.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the depth of local anesthesia application on procedural pain during lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection. Design: Sixty-eight patients were enrolled who were scheduled for single-level, unilateral fluoroscopically guided lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either subcutaneous local anesthesia (group S) or deep local anesthesia (group D) for transforaminal epidural steroid injection. The data related to pain and technical performance during the procedure was compared. In addition, the incidence of injection site soreness was assessed 2 wks after transforaminal epidural steroid injection. Results: Sixty-seven patients completed all assessments (group S, n = 33; group D, n = 34). There was no significant difference in procedural pain and discomfort level between the groups (P = 0.151, P = 0.183, respectively). Patients in group D showed lower behavioral pain scores (P = 0.017). There was no significant difference in the numbers of needle manipulations, fluoroscopy time, and radiation dose during the procedure between the groups. Two patients in group S and three in group D complained of injection site soreness after transforaminal epidural steroid injection for a few days, but there was no significant difference in its incidence (P = 0.667). Conclusions: Deep local anesthesia to reduce procedural pain during transforaminal epidural steroid injection seems to have no significant clinical benefit compared with conventional subcutaneous local anesthesia.

Aim: Childhood cancer patients are subjected to recurring painful medical procedures. In low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), where the majority of the world's childhood cancer patients live, pain management is often unsatisfactory due to limited resources. This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of conducting a preprocedural preparation for lumbar punctures (LPs) at a pediatric oncology unit in a LMIC and to assess whether this intervention would decrease procedural pain and fear. Methods: Patients aged 5-18 who underwent LPs between February 25, 2017, and April 12, 2017, were eligible and invited to participate. Included patients were interviewed to assess the procedural pain and fear in conjunction with the LP and the patients' understanding of why an LP was done. Closest caregivers and the medical staff were interviewed to compare the perceptions of pain. The study was conducted in two separate phases; patients included in the period of February 25-March 9 underwent LP according to routines without preparation while patients included in the period of March 10-April 12 received procedural preparation with information. Results from the interviews from the two study groups were compared. Results: Out of 79 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 76 were included and preparation was successfully implemented for 25 of them. The pain decreased significantly (P = 0.022) after preparation. The physicians underestimated the patients' pain (P < 0.0001). The understanding of the reason for the LP increased significantly among patients (P = 0.0081) and their caregivers (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: Preparation by preprocedural information, created to fit the situation at a state-run hospital in a LMIC, is feasible and efficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aim: Patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are committed to lifelong secondary prophylaxis with antibiotics. The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cold needle to decrease the pain associated with this injection. Material and methods: A randomised crossover single-blinded study was conducted among 100 patients receiving penicillin with room-temperature needle and cold needle (0–2oC) in random order. Pain was evaluated using numerical pain rating scale and bio-physiological measures. Results: There was a significant decrease in subjective pain score when cold needle was used as compared to room-temperature needle (3.37 ±1.75 vs 5.58 ±1.68, P≤0.0001). Conclusion: Cold needle decreased pain perception of patients receiving intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin. Pain-reducing technique may be useful in improving compliance of patients receiving benzathine penicillin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Young children are at increased risk of burn injury and of procedural distress during the subsequent wound care. There are currently few observational measures validated for use with young children during medical procedures. The aim of this research was to adapt the Child-Adult Medical Procedure Interaction Scale-Revised (CAMPIS-R) to assess parent-young child interactions during burn wound care by including nonverbal behavioral coding.Method: Eighty-seven families of children (1-6years old) were recruited at their first burn dressing change. Potential behaviors were identified through a literature review, consulting health professionals, and direct observation of parents and children during burn wound care. Nonverbal behaviors were coded live, and verbal behaviors were audio recorded for later assessment.Results: Inter-coder reliability was good to excellent for the Burns-CAMPIS (B-CAMPIS). The additional behaviors were correlated with the hypothesized coping, distress, coping-promoting and distress-promoting categories of the CAMPIS-R. Some behaviors differed in frequency across child age groups, with older children demonstrating more verbal behaviors. Convergent validity was demonstrated through correlations with previously validated observational parent-child behavior measures, and parent- and nurse- reported measures of child pain and anxiety. Univariate regression analyses demonstrated the child categories of the B-CAMPIS accounted for equal or more of the variance of parent- and nurse- reported child pain and anxiety, compared to the CAMPIS-R.Conclusions: The B-CAMPIS is a reliable and valid measure, for assessing coping and distress relationships in young children and their families. Pending further validation, the B-CAMPIS assists researchers and clinicians to recognize and target important behaviors to improve young child coping during pediatric burn wound care.

Background: Pain management of children with burn is one of the most important issues in pediatric medicine. Non-pharmacological methods of pain control can play an important role in suitable patients. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of Medical directed play on the severity of pediatric pain during burn dressing change. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 82, 3- to 6- year-old children referring to a burn center in Tehran, Iran, for their first burn dressing change. The children were assigned into control (n=41) and intervention (n=41) groups by random allocation method. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) scale was used to measure the severity of pain before and during the dressings. The arterial blood oxygen level and pulse rate were also measured by a pulse oximeter. In the intervention group, the children were taught about the dressing steps 15 minutes before starting the procedure using a doll. The control group received routine care. The pain intensity, pulse rate, and arterial blood oxygen were compared between the groups by the Independent t-test, Paired t-test, Chi-square, and Fisher's exact exact-test using in SPSS V. 20. Results: There was a significant difference between the groups between regarding the mean score of pain intensity during dressing between the groups (P=0.041). A significant difference was also found in the mean heart rate of the groups during dressing (P<0.001). No significant difference was seen in the arterial blood oxygen saturation between the groups. Conclusion: Medical-directed play effectively reduces pediatric procedural pain through children's cooperation during dressing changes. This cost-effective, non-invasive technique can be widely used for pain management in children with a burn. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

All critically ill adult patients in intensive care units (ICU) typically experience pain. Critically ill adults suffer pain of different intensities. It depends on individual characteristics, specific procedural interventions, and underlying diseases. Inadequate management of acute pain is a risk factor for the emergence of chronic pain, where the incidence is up to 33% into the ICU survivor population. For the management of pain, agitation, and delirium, several coexisting clinical practice guidelines have been published. The first problem is that the patient recovered in intensive care unit should not be able to communicate its pain state. Opioids are the analgesic drugs of choice in critically ill patients with non-neuropathic pain. All intravenous opioids have the same effects, respecting the equianalgesic table. Observational research has shown that opioids are the main analgesic treatment in over 80% of mechanically ventilated patients. It is interesting that opioid consumption in an ICU and the memory of painful experience are linked to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder after ICU discharge. In order to reduce the side effects and maintain analgesia, it is useful to associate adjuvant medications with opioids. An opportunity to improve patients' experience in an ICU is to manage pain through multimodal approaches.

- Abstract
Introduction: Newborns born prematurely and treated in intensive care units are at greater risk of experiencing pain than patients treated in other units. Purpose: To evaluate the severity of pain perceived by children during the performance of medical procedures related to the treatment and care process. Materials and methods: The study was conducted at one of the Intensive Care Units in Opole. The study group consisted of 100 newborns, 60% of the subjects were prematurely born newborns, and 40% - were full-term. The degree of procedural pain associated with blood collection, peripheral puncture insertion, upper respiratory tract suction, gastric tube insertion and ophthalmic examination was assessed by an observation method using the standard Neonatal Infant Pain Scale Form (NIPS). Results. Out of the analysed medical procedures, 100% of children experienced acute, severe pain over the course of suction and ophthalmological examination. The highest perception of pain was experienced by 88.3% of premature newborns and 71.8% of full-term newborns. Over the course of medical procedures, 84% of male and 79.6% female newborns experienced acute pain. It was shown that the degree of pain perception was determined by the type of performed medical procedure (p=0.001) and the gestational age of the newborn (p=0.037). On the other hand, there was no correlation between the sex of the newborn child and the degree of pain perception (p=0.758). Conclusions. Based on the foregoing study result, bearing in mind the need to minimise the effects of pain stimulation, it seems important to use standardised tools to assess the severity of pain in newborns treated in Intensive Care Units on a larger scale.

Children with intellectual disability frequently undergo needle-related procedures for diagnosis or treatment. Nevertheless, only a few studies deal with pain and distress management during the procedure in this population of children. This study aimed to investigate the number of anxiety and pain management techniques performed during needle procedure in children with intellectual disability (cases) compared to a population of children without intellectual disability (controls). This multicenter cohort study was performed from July 2016 to January 2018 in the pediatric ward of four urban hospitals in Italy. Eligible subjects were children with and without intellectual disability, from 4 to 17 years old, who needed venipuncture or intravenous cannulation for diagnosis or treatment. Use of topical anesthesia, distraction techniques, and physical or verbal comfort during procedures were recorded. Pain and anxiety scores were also recorded. Forty-seven cases and 94 controls were recruited. Three pain- and anxiety-relieving techniques were performed during the procedure in 12 (25%) cases and in 10 controls (11%); two techniques were performed in 23 (50%) cases and in 26 (28%) controls; 12 (25%) cases and 52 (55%) controls received only one.Conclusion: In this series, children with intellectual disability received significantly more relieving techniques, but experienced more pain and anxiety when compared to children without intellectual disability. What is Known: • Children with intellectual disability experience more episodes of pain than cognitively healthy ones, and almost 10% of these episodes are due to medical procedures. What is New: • Children with intellectual disability despite receiving more relieving techniques during a needle-related procedure experienced more pain and anxiety when compared to healthy children.

Objective: The objective of this pilot study was to assess the acceptability and feasibility of using BrightHearts, a biofeedback‐assisted relaxation application (app), in children undergoing painful procedures. Methods: Thirty children 7 to 18 years of age undergoing a medical procedure (peripheral blood collection, botulinum toxin injection, or intravenous cannula insertion) participated. Participants used BrightHearts, a heart rate–controlled biofeedback‐assisted relaxation training app delivered via an iPad with heart rate measured through a pulse oximeter worn on the ear or thumb. Feasibility was assessed through observations and patient, parent/carer, and healthcare professional feedback. Patient, parent/carer, and healthcare professional satisfaction with BrightHearts was rated using investigator‐developed surveys. Results: Eighty‐three percent of child participants reported that they found BrightHearts helpful during the procedure and that they would use BrightHearts again. All parents and 96% of healthcare professionals indicated they would use BrightHearts again. Sixty‐four percent of healthcare providers perceived that BrightHearts assisted with the ease of performing the procedure. Qualitative analyses found 2 themes: (1) BrightHearts calms through providing distraction and biofeedback and (2) the impact of BrightHearts on the procedure. Conclusions: This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of using biofeedback‐assisted relaxation delivered via the BrightHearts app in children undergoing peripheral blood collection and cannulation. Future studies are required to evaluate BrightHearts' efficacy in reducing pain and anxiety during painful procedures and distinguish the effects of a biofeedback‐mediated app from distraction.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to describe nurses perceptions of infants' procedural pain assessment and alleviation with non-pharmacological methods including parental guidance in departments of neonatal and infant medicine and Neonatal Intensive Care (NICUs). Design and methods A descriptive cross-sectional survey was carried out among all nurses (n= 149) who were working in neonatal and infant departments or NICUs in Estonian hospitals. Altogether, 128 questionnaires were returned and 111 respondents were eligible (75% response rate). The data were analysed using statistical methods. Results More than half of the nurses agreed that systematic documentation of the measurement of pain is necessary for nursing care and that it affects pain alleviation in infants. Half of the respondents (51%) confirmed that pain scales are important in the measurement of infants' pain, but 58% claimed they were able to assess pain in a reliable way without using pain assessment scales. Nurses also reported that they were unfamiliar with most pain scales and they were not routinely used in everyday practice. Nurses said that the most useful non-pharmacological pain alleviation methods were touching (83%) and positioning infants (78%), the most rarely used were skin-to-skin care (12%) and encouraging mothers to breastfeed the infant (34%). The majority of respondents (79%) reported that they do not know or do not have written instructions on pain assessment in their workplace, and only a few (10%) reported that they have participated in pain management courses during the last year. Conclusions There is a need to increase the use of pain assessment scales and pain documentation in everyday practice in those hospitals in Estonia. The use of scales in pain assessment was valued by few nurses. It seems that there is a lack of knowledge on non-pharmacological methods, and nurses reported using only a few non-pharmacological pain alleviation methods and guided parents on using them. Practice implications Nurses need pain management guidelines for everyday work, and in addition to nurses, written guidelines for parents are needed.

INTRODUZIONE:Quasi il 10% del dolore che colpisce i bambini con paralisi cerebrale (PC) deriva da una procedura medica. La clownterapia è una diffusa tecnica di distrazione per ridurre il dolore; alcune revisioni sistematiche valutano l'efficacia di questo intervento in ambito pediatrico, ma nessuna su bambini con PC. OBIETTIVO:Valutare l'effetto della clown terapia sul dolore procedurale nei bambini con PC. METODI:Revisione sistematica con meta-analisi di trial clinici con gruppo di controllo. Reperimento degli studi tramite interrogazione di database biomedici, risorse online e registri di trial. La clown terapia è stata confrontata con le cure standard. L'esito primario era il livello di dolore dopo l'intervento. Il rischio di bias è stato valutato con RoB 2. La dimensione d'effetto è stata calcolata con un modello a effetti casuali. RISULTATITre studi con 164 pazienti sono stati inclusi. Il rischio di bias è alto per due studi e solleva qualche dubbio per uno. Tutti gli studi hanno analizzato l'effetto della clown terapia sul dolore procedurale dopo l'iniezione di tossina botulinica. È stata rilevata una riduzione statisticamente non significativa del dolore nel gruppo di intervento rispetto a quello di controllo (DSM: -0,20, IC 95%: -0,56, 0,17). L'eterogeneità tra gli studi è elevata. CONCLUSIONE:La clown terapia per il dolore procedurale da iniezioni di tossina botulinica nei bambini con PC sembra efficace ma i limiti metodologici degli studi non consentono un giudizio definitivo. Mancano studi che valutino l'effetto dell’intervento su altre procedure a cui si sottopongono periodicamente i bambini con PC, BACKGROUND:Nearly 10% of the pain that affects children with cerebral palsy (CP) results from a medical procedure. Clown therapy is a popular distraction technique to reduce pain; some systematic reviews evaluate the efficacy of this intervention in the pediatric setting, but none on children with CP. AIM:To evaluate the effect of clown therapy on procedural pain in children with CP. METHODS:Systematic review with meta-analysis of clinical trials with control group. Retrieval of studies by querying biomedical databases, online resources and trial registers. Clown therapy was compared with standard care. The primary outcome was the pain level after surgery. The risk of bias was assessed with RoB 2. Effect size was calculated with a random effects model. RESULTS:Three studies with 164 patients were included. The risk of bias is high for two studies and raises some concerns for one. All studies analyzed the effect of clown therapy on procedural pain after botulinum toxin injection. There was a statistically non significant reduction in pain in the intervention group compared to the control group (SMD: -0.20, 95% CI: -0.56, 0.17). The heterogeneity between studies is high. CONCLUSION:Clown therapy for procedural pain from botulinum toxin injections in children with CP seems effective but the methodological limitations of the studies do not allow a definitive judgment. There is a lack of studies evaluating the effect of the intervention on other procedures that children with CP undergo periodically.

This Bachelor's thesis deals with the topic of procedural pain management in preterm newborns. Procedural pain is caused during medical procedures. Long-term exposure to pain has a variety of consequences, which is why it is very important to pay attention to the procedural pain prevention management. The first aim of the thesis was to explore the possibilities of assessing procedural pain in premature neonates. The second aim was to map the available methods of procedural pain management, followed by the final goal to identify the possibilities of involving mothers of premature neonates in the procedural pain prevention management. The research part of the paper was based on a qualitative investigation by means of questioning and observation. Data collection was carried out using in-depth interviews with paediatric nurses and mothers of premature neonates. Next part of the research involved observation of paediatric nurses during painful procedures. The information obtained was logged in observation sheets. Research has shown that there is currently a great effort to reduce the number of painful procedures that preterm newborns have to undergo. It was found that when evaluating procedural pain, all circumstances must be taken into account and not evaluated only according to a given scale. According to the research, the most effective of the non-pharmacological methods of pain relief is direct contact between mother and child. Pharmacological methods of pain relief are used in rare cases. It was also confirmed that there is currently a great effort to involve parents in the care of preterm newborns, but this needs to be further intensified and fathers need to be engaged more, for example. The results obtained from the research can be used in the education of paediatric nurses. An educational leaflet for mothers has also been developed.

Einleitung: Bereits nach der Geburt werden sowohl frühgeborene Kinder, als auch gesunde Neugeborene vielen schmerzhaften medizinischen Eingriffe ausgesetzt. Schmerzexpositionen können langfristige Folgen für das spätere Leben haben, da sich die Säuglinge an diese negativen Stimulationen erinnern können. Wird ein Kind in den ersten Lebenswochen Schmerzen ausgesetzt, kann sich dies negativ auf die Entwicklung der geistigen und motorischen Fähigkeiten des Kindes auswirken. Der Einsatz von Analgetika wiederum kann zu unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen führen, deshalb befasst sich diese Arbeit mit sechs unterschiedlichen nichtmedikamentösen Interventionen, um Schmerzen bei Frühgeborenen zu lindern. Methodik: Für diese Literaturarbeit wurde eine Literaturrecherche in dem Zeitraum von Jänner bis Februar 2023 durchgeführt. Es wurden verschiedene Datenbanken, wie zum Beispiel Springer Link, CINAHL, PubMed sowie Academic Search Elite durchsucht, um passende Literatur für diese Thematik zu finden. Um die Ergebnisse eingrenzen zu können, wurden die Bool’schen Operatoren ,,AND‘‘ und/oder ,,OR‘‘ verwendet. Nach der Überprüfung auf das EMED-Format wurden zwölf Studien für diese Arbeit herangezogen. Ergebnisse: In dem Ergebnisteil wird auf die sechs nichtmedikamentösen Interventionen Kängurupflege, Facilitated Tucking, Swaddling, Non Nutritiv Sucking (NNS), Muttermilch und Saccharose näher eingegangen. Gezeigt hat sich, dass besonders die Kängurupflege eine hohe Wirksamkeit aufweist, ebenso Facilitated Tucking, Swaddling und NNS. Bei dem Einsatz von Saccharose und Muttermilch konnten keine signifikanten Ergebnisse festgestellt werden. Schlussfolgerung: Nicht pharmakologische Interventionen sollten in der Praxis häufiger eingesetzt werden, besonders die Maßnahmen, welche die taktile Wahrnehmung von Frühgeborenen stimulieren. Sie haben eine hohe Wirksamkeit und können leicht in den Pflegealltag integriert werden. Introduction: Right after birth, both prematurely born children and healthy newborns are exposed to many painful medical procedures. Pain exposures can have long-term consequences later in life because infants can remember these negative stimuli. If a child is exposed to pain in the first few weeks of life, this can have negative effects on the development of the child's mental and motor skills. Since the use of analgesics can lead to undesirable side effects, this work deals with six different non-drug interventions to relieve pain in preterm infants. Methodology: For this research paper a literature search was carried out from January to February 2023. A systematic review of the literature was conducted from multiple online databases such as Springer Link, CINAHL, PubMed and Academic Search Elite. To refine the search’s results the Boolean opertos were used. After checking out the EMED structure twelve studies were used for this paper. Results: The results describe both the interventions that stimulate tactile perception in preterm infants, such as kangaroo care, facilitated tucking, swaddling, NNS and also interventions that stimulate gustatory perception, e.g. sucrose and breast milk. It has been shown that kangaroo care in particular is highly effective, as well as facilitated tucking, swaddling and NNS. No significant results were found when using sucrose and breast milk. Conclusion: Non-pharmacological Interventions should be used more often in nursing practice. Especially the interventions that stimulate the tactile perception of premature babies. They are highly effective and can easily be integrated in the nursing process of premature babies.

In preparation for a quality improvement initiative, our team conducted a provincial pediatric pain management practice and needs assessment.Methods: An online survey was sent to ED administrators and educators from March to May 2017. Themes included pain assessment, pain and distress management strategies, available resources, education, barriers to care, and opportunities for improvement.Results: Forty-five respondents, from 31 EDs representing all five geographic health zones in Alberta, completed the survey. Use of a pain assessment tool was reported at 93.5% (29/31 sites) of the sites. Topical anesthesia was employed âmost of the timeâ before suturing at 67% (18/27) of sites, versus 15% (4/27) before blood work or IV insertion. Eighty-one percent (22/27) of sites reported physically restraining children for procedures âoftenâ, while 37% (10/27) reported use of comfort positioning âoftenâ. Digital distraction devices were available at 37% (10/27) of sites. Reported challenges included lack of resources (33.3%, 12/36), staff education/knowledge (33.3%, 12/36), and absent policies/poor policy adherence (25.0%, 9/36). Opportunities for improvement included staff member education (73.5%, 25/34) and more resources (58.8%, 20/34). Respondents rated their siteâs overall ability to manage childrenâs pain as 50/100 [IQR:21,61].Conclusion: General EDs report providing suboptimal childrenâs pain care, with use of physical restraint for medical procedures, and under-utilization of evidence-based, inexpensive treatment options. There are many gaps in childrenâs pain care in rural and community EDs which could be addressed through collaborative quality improvement initiatives.Keywords: children, rural, procedural pain, pain treatment

Hospitalized preterm infants experience painful medical procedures. Oral sucrose is the nonpharmacological standard of care for minor procedural pain relief. Infants are treated with numerous doses of sucrose, raising concerns about potential long-term effects. The objective of this study was to determine the long-term effects of neonatal oral sucrose treatment on growth and liver metabolism in a mouse model. Neonatal female and male mice were randomly assigned to one of two oral treatments ( n = 7–10 mice/group/sex): sterile water or sucrose. Pups were treated 10 times/day for the first 6 days of life with 0.2 mg/g body wt of respective treatments (24% solution; 1–4 μL/dose) to mimic what is given to preterm infants. Mice were weaned at age 3 wk onto a control diet and fed until age 16 wk. Sucrose-treated female and male mice gained less weight during the treatment period and were smaller at weaning than water-treated mice ( P ≤ 0.05); no effect of sucrose treatment on body weight was observed at adulthood. However, adult sucrose-treated female mice had smaller tibias and lower serum insulin-like growth factor-1 than adult water-treated female mice ( P ≤ 0.05); these effects were not observed in males. Lower liver S-adenosylmethionine, phosphocholine, and glycerophosphocholine were observed in adult sucrose-treated compared with water-treated female and male mice ( P ≤ 0.05). Sucrose-treated female, but not male, mice had lower liver free choline and higher liver betaine compared with water-treated female mice ( P < 0.01). Our findings suggest that repeated neonatal sucrose treatment has long-term sex-specific effects on growth and liver methionine and choline metabolism.

Aims The study aimed to determine the effect of using a crochet octopus to reduce acute pain and maintain optimal physiological measurements that develops during procedural pain in neonates. Materials and methods This was a parallel design randomized controlled study. During the procedure of heel lance, experimental groups were delivered a crochet octopus 10 min before the process and let them touch the octopus during and for up to 10 min after the procedure. Control group experienced the process without any intervention. SpO2, duration of crying of neonates and pain they experienced were evaluated. Results The study was completed with 100 (50 for the experimental group and 50 for the control group) term neonates. SpO2 of neonates, touching the crochet octopus during and after in second minute of the process was found higher and also the duration of crying was shorter during whole the process, and the pain they experienced due to the process was lower than the control group. Conclusions Crochet octopus affected physiological measurements of the neonates positively and reduced the procedural pain as well.

Children's heightened attention to pain and parental narrative style have been linked to the development of negatively-biased pain memories in children (i.e., recalling higher levels of pain and fear than initially reported, which robustly predicts maladaptive pain outcomes). However, the interplay between child attention bias and parental narrative style remains to be assessed. This study aims to fill this gap using enhanced paradigms assessing children's cognitive biases for cues signaling actual pain. Healthy school children (N = 63; 9-15 years old) received painful heat stimuli while performing a spatial cueing task measuring attention bias to cues signaling actual pain. Parent-child interaction upon completion of the painful task, was coded for parental narrative style (i.e., elaboration, repetition and evaluation). Children's pain-related memories were elicited two weeks later. Findings indicated that children showed an attention bias to cues signaling pain. Furthermore, children who were hypervigilant to pain cues benefitted from parents elaborating more about the pain experience, while children who avoided pain cues developed more negatively-biased pain memories if parents had a more elaborative style compared to a more evaluative parental style. In conclusion, this study suggests that optimal ways to talk about children's pain depend upon child characteristics (i.e., children's attention bias to pain).

La douleur et l’anxiété procédurales pédiatriques sont des phénomènes fréquents dans les milieux de soins, particulièrement chez les enfants et adolescents atteints d’un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA), ceux-ci pouvant occasionner de multiples conséquences. Or, il existe des écrits présentant des interventions pour la gestion de la douleur et de l’anxiété procédurales pour les enfants et adolescents atteints d’un TSA. Toutefois, il ne semble pas exister d’écrits publiés qui regroupent l’état actuel des connaissances sur ce sujet. Ainsi, le but de cette revue de la portée était de faire état des connaissances sur les interventions permettant la gestion de la douleur et de l’anxiété procédurales chez les enfants et adolescents atteints d’un TSA. De ce fait, une revue de la portée a été réalisée. Le cadre conceptuel de Young (2005) sur la douleur procédurale pédiatrique et le modèle d’analyse thématique en psychologie de Braun et Clarke (2006) ont été utilisés afin de structurer cette revue. Les résultats ont permis d’identifier les interventions permettant, selon les écrits, une meilleure gestion de la douleur et de l’anxiété procédurales chez les enfants et adolescents atteints d’un TSA, soit classés selon quatre éléments d’interventions : 1) les caractéristiques de la procédure et l’environnement immédiat, 2) l’interaction des parents avec l’enfant, 3) l’interaction des professionnels de la santé avec l’enfant et 4) les interventions directes pharmacologiques et non pharmacologiques. Ces résultats appuient la pertinence d’une prise en charge globale de la douleur et de l’anxiété procédurales adaptée aux enfants et adolescents atteints d’un TSA., Pediatric procedural pain and anxiety are common in health care settings, particularly in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). There is a body of literature outlining procedural pain and anxiety management interventions for children and adolescents with ASD. However, there does not appear to be any structured review published showing the current state of knowledge on this topic. Thus, the purpose of this study is to proceed to a structured review on interventions for the management of procedural pain and anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD. As such, a scoping review was conducted. Young's (2005) conceptual framework on pediatric procedural pain and the thematic analysis in psychology of Braun and Clarke (2008) were used to structure this review. The results made it possible to identify the interventions that have been reported in the literature to manage procedural pain and anxiety in children and adolescents with ASD. Those were categorized according to four elements of intervention 1) procedural characteristics and the immediate environment, 2) parent-child interaction, 3) health care professional-child interaction, and 4) direct pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. These findings support the appropriateness of procedural pain and anxiety management tailored to children and adolescents with ASD.

Background: Pain experiences can negatively impact children and adolescents, leading to trauma symptoms and nonadherence to important health behaviors. Developmentally-tailored communication strategies may mitigate this risk. Methods: This article reviews cognitive and linguistic developmental factors, within the familial and cultural context, that are important to consider when communicating with youth about acute, procedural, and/or chronic pain. Results: Youth undergoing acute or procedural pain benefit from pain education, truthful information about the procedure, and advance preparation. The use of analogies may be particularly helpful for patient understanding of chronic pain development, maintenance, and treatment. Youth with developmental disabilities may express pain differently than their normative peers, requiring adaptation of communication strategies. Conclusion: Developmentally-tailored pain communication is an important tool for caregivers and healthcare providers that may foster adaptive functioning in youth who experience pain.

Introduction: Premature babies admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are subjected to many painful invasive procedures. The exposure to pain leads to immediate and long term changes in the structure and function of preterm newborn’s brain and therefore pain must be avoided in neonates to prevent the adverse effects. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is one of the effective non pharmacological methods of reducing neonatal pain for minor procedures. Aim: Evaluate the effectiveness of KMC versus conventional care in reducing pain in premature neonates during minor procedures. Materials and Methods: Prospective study done in a Tertiary Care Hospital over eighteen months. Eighty premature neonates with gestational age between 28 to 37 weeks and birth weight

Immediately after birth, most newborns undergo a number of medical procedures to assess how the body functions. Some of these procedures are invasive and involve breaking the continuity of the baby's tissues, leading to pain and discomfort. Confirmation of pain sensation by newborns is relatively one of the newer scientific discoveries - this fact was not acceptable until the end of the 1980s. Therefore, analgesia was used very rarely during all medical procedures. Nowadays, medical personnel are aware that the youngest patients also feel pain and should be knowledgeable about its prevention and treatment. The aim of the study is to analyze the available studies on glucose supply as a way to reduce procedural pain in newborns. The non-systematic review of the literature was carried out according to the following keywords: pain, glucose, newborn, prevention, recommendations. Analyzes carried out in neonatal departments and a literature review have shown that pain prevention and treatment still pose many problems, as there are no clear guidelines as to how and methods to administer the therapy. Oral glucose is the most common pain reliever used in neonates during medical interventions. Its mechanism of action remains unclear, but it is believed to have a calming effect and reduce behavioral indicators of pain. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the administration of three doses of sucrose appropriate to the gestational age of the newborn, but there is concern about the long-term use of this preventive measure, especially in premature babies, who are at greater risk of hyperglycemia and disturbances in the development of the nervous system.

HINTERGRUND Trotz uber 50 psychometrisch validierter Beobachtungsverfahren gibt es bisher keinen Konsens uber das praktikabelste Schmerzassessment bei Neugeborenen. Die Items von NFCSshort und PIPP wurden mit der Schmerzeinschatzung der prozedurbeteiligten Behandler verglichen und es wurde evaluiert, ob eine Itemreduktion zu Gunsten der Alltagsanwendung moglich ware. MATERIAL UND METHODEN 52 Neugeborene wurden in unserer Beobachtungsstudie einer klinisch indizierten peripheren Venenpunktion unterzogen. Patient und Monitordaten wurden standardisiert auf Video aufgezeichnet. Die Schmerzintensitat wurden durch sieben unabhangige Untersucher mittels NFCSshort und PIPP bewertet und hinsichtlich der Variabilitat zwischen den Untersuchern verglichen. ERGEBNISSE Nur vier Items des PIPP (Herzfrequenz, Augenbrauenvorwolbung, zusammengekniffene Augen, betonte Nasolabialfalte) wiesen einen signifikanten Zusammenhang mit der geschatzten Schmerzhaftigkeit der Prozedur auf. Die Items 1 (Gestationsalter), 2 (Wachheitsgrad) und 4 (Sauerstoffsattigung) hatten bei keinem Untersucher Einfluss auf das Schmerzmessergebnis. Die Auswertung des NFCSshort zeigte bei zwei Untersuchern fur das Item 1 (Vorwolbung der Augenbrauen) und bei einem Untersucher fur das Item 2 (zusammengekniffene Augen) keine Einflusse auf das Messergebnis. DISKUSSION Die Ergebnisse der Studie legen eine Kurzung des PIPP um drei Items nahe, da diese keinen Einfluss auf das Schmerzmessergebnis zeigten. Eine Reduktion des PIPP um das Item Gestationsalter erscheint fraglich, da es in weiteren Studien als bedeutsames Item bewertet wurde. Ein Verzicht auf das Item Sauerstoffsattigung geht mit einem geringeren Messaufwand einher. Eine weitere Kurzung der bereits gekurzten Version (NFCSshort) auf weniger als funf Items ist auf Basis unserer Ergebnisse nicht zu empfehlen. BACKGROUND Despite more than 50 laboratory-evaluated measurement systems, there is no consensus on the most practicable pain assessment in newborns in daily practice. For this purpose, the items of NFCSshort and PIPP were compared to the pain assesment of the involved medical practitioner. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether an item reduction of the assesments in favor of everyday use is feasible. METHODS In 52 neonates of a paediatric ward venous blood collection was performed in this observational study. Cameras recorded patients and monitor in a standardized way. The pain intensity was assessed with NFCSshort and PIPP by seven independent observers. The ratings were compared for variability between observers. RESULTS Of the seven PIPP items, only four were significantly associated with procedural pain assessment for all seven observers (heart rate, brow bulge, eye squeeze, nasolabial furrow). For the NFCSshort, no significant association with procedural pain assessment was found for two observers for the item "brow bulge" and for one observer for the item "eye squeeze". CONCLUSION The results of the study suggest a possible reduction of the PIPP by three items. Disregarding item 1 (gestational age) appears questionable, since its impact as context variable has been proven repeatedly. The waiver of item 4 (oxygen saturation) is associated with less measuring effort. A further reduction of the already shortened version of the NFCS with ten items (NFCSshort, five items) is not recommended by our results.

- Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of non-immersive virtual reality as a pain-distraction measure in children between the ages of 3 and 5 years undergoing painful injection procedures in an outpatient setting. We carried out a randomized, unmasked clinical trial in children undergoing venipuncture or intramuscular injection procedures. Patients were randomized to a distraction virtual reality video or standard care. After the procedure, three independent observers (parents, researchers, nursing staff) rated pain on the LLANTO pain scale. We recruited 122 subjects, half of which were randomized to virtual reality. The median age was of approximately 60 months (IQR: 15 months), and the sample was balanced with regard to sex. There were significant differences in LLANTO scales scores between the VR subjects and controls of - 3.34 (95% CI - 4.15; - 2.54), - 3.02 (95% CI - 3.90; - 2.14), and - 2.98 (95% CI - 3.87; - 2.09), as rated by parents, researchers, and nursing staff, respectively. Agreement between raters was high for all three types of observers, with Cohen Kappas over 0.79 in all cases. Bivariate analysis showed reductions in the risk of obtaining higher scores in the LLANTO scale. Linear regression models showed a reduction of approximately 3 points in the scale, regardless of the type of observer. These models were adjusted for sex, age, kind of procedure, use of prior analgesia, and recruitment center., Conclusions: Non-immersive virtual reality is an effective adjunctive therapy for the reduction of pain in children undergoing painful injection procedures in an outpatient setting. This strategy may be used to improve the quality of care in pediatric outpatient services., Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03985930 (Registered June 14, 2019)., What Is Known: •The use of immersive virtual reality (VR) has been described as an effective adjunctive distraction method during painful procedures in children over 5 years., What Is New: •The utility of non-immersive VR in children below that age is not yet clear. This randomized clinical trial comparing non-immersive VR vs. standard care showed an average reduction of three points in the LLANTO pain scale favoring non-immersive VR. Non-immersive VR is an effective and inexpensive non-pharmacological technique that reduces fear and pain in pediatric patients., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: Endotracheal aspiration is a painful nociceptive procedure. There is still a gap in the literature on studies to determine the pain level and nursing interventions for aspiration., Objectives: This study evaluated pain during endotracheal aspiration and examined the factors affecting pain., Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted with 105 inpatients meeting the inclusion criteria in the internal intensive care unit of a public hospital. Two hundred ten aspiration procedures were monitored for pain and other variables. ASPMN 2019 Position Statement recommendations were followed in designing the study and determining the procedure. The pain score range obtained from The Critical Care Pain Observation Tool was 0-8. A score of 2 or more is considered to indicate the presence of pain. The primary outcome measures were pain associated with endotracheal aspiration and affecting factors in this study. The generalised linear mixed model established for aspiration procedure-associated pain and affecting factors was analysed., Results: Patients' mean pain score was 1.24 ± 2.05 before, 3.07 ± 2.17 during, and 2.35 ± 1.94 after aspiration and 0.89 ± 1.40 at 15 min after aspiration. The pain rate was 26.1% before, 71% during, and 60.9% after the aspiration procedure and 18.8% after 15 min. There was a statistically significant difference between all pain scores evaluated. The difference in aspiration-related pain scores by age, respiratory diseases, sedation status, aspiration pressure, and tube diameter was statistically significant., Conclusions: The pain score due to aspiration procedure increased significantly in intensive care unit inpatients and is an important risk factor for patient safety. More focus is needed on the causes and measures of aspiration-related pain., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest None., (Copyright © 2022 Australian College of Critical Care Nurses Ltd.

Background and Objectives: Pain management in children is often inadequate, and the single most common painful procedure in children who are hospitalized is needle procedures. Virtual reality (VR) has been shown to decrease anxiety and pain in children undergoing painful procedures primarily in children from the age of 7 years. Our aim for this study is to investigate patient satisfaction and pain reduction by using a three-dimensional VR interactive game as a distraction in 4–7 years old children during venous cannulation. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, we enrolled 106 children aged 4–7 years who were scheduled for venous cannulation. Patients assigned to the control group were adherent to standard of care, including topical numbing cream, positioning, and distraction in this group by games of choice on a tablet/smartphone. In the study group, children were adherent to standard of care and were distracted by an interactive VR game. Primary outcomes were patient satisfaction and the procedural pain assessed by using Wong–Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale; secondary outcomes were the procedural time and any adverse events. Results: We found an overall high level of patient satisfaction with our regime of topical numbing cream, positioning, and distraction. The primary outcome of pain during the procedure was median 20 mm (IQR 0–40) and 20 mm (IQR 0–55) (Wong–Baker 0–100 mm) in the VR group and the control group, respectively (difference: 0 mm, 95%CI: 0–20, p =.19). No significant difference was found in procedural times. The number of adverse effects was low, with no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions: VR distraction is an acceptable form of distraction for children 4–7 years old when combined with topical numbing cream and positioning during preoperative venous cannulation. No difference was found between VR- and smartphone/tablet distraction.

Background: Due to the progress in neonatology, in particular, in the past three decades, the mortality rate among patients of intensive care units has decreased. However, this is connected not only with newborns needing to stay longer in the unit, but also with the exposure of newborns to many painful procedures and stresses. Lack of or insufficient pain prevention has a negative impact on the sensory or locomotor development of newborns. Despite the presence of guidelines based on scientific evidence, the use of pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain-management methods in newborns is still insufficient. Aim: The aim of the study was to: identify the knowledge nurses/midwives have of recommended non-pharmacological and/or pharmacological methods, in particular, in relation to medical intervention procedures; assess the interventions for pain relief applied by midwives/nurses most often in their clinical practice; examine the role of age, general work experience, education level and years of work of medical professionals on a neonatal ward, as well as the referral level of a unit, versus the application of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Methods: A descriptive and quantitative study conducted in 2019 among Polish nurses/midwives working at neonatal intensive care units. Results: The analysis of the material reflected the deficit of knowledge and the insufficient daily use of recommended pain-relief measures among the respondents. Conclusions: The interpretation of data indicates that despite the clear and easily available recommendations of scientific societies concerning the mode of conduct in particular medical procedures, medical personnel do not apply those recommendations in their everyday practice. It is necessary to plan and implement education strategies for nurses/midwives on standard pain-management interventions during painful medical procedures.
