ABSTRACT

PURPOSE:

This study compared the pain-relieving effects of human milk, sucrose, and distilled water during examinations for retinopathy of prematurity.

METHODS:

Forty-five preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive a pacifier dipped in one of three solutions human milk (n=14), 24% sucrose (n=15), or distilled water (n=16), 2 minutes before an eye examination. Their pain score, pulse rate, and oxygen saturation were measured at three time points 5 minutes before the examination, 30 seconds after speculum introduction, and 2 minutes after the examination.

RESULTS:

The infants' mean gestational age and weight at birth were 33.1±2.1 weeks and 1,842±470 g, respectively. There were no between-group differences in pain relief during the eye examination. The pain score significantly increased both during (p<.001) and after the examinations (p=.003). Oxygen saturation decreased during the examinations (p<.001); however, the infants in the 24% sucrose group showed higher oxygen saturation (p=.047) during the examinations than the infants in the other groups.

CONCLUSION:

Sucking on a pacifier dipped in human milk or 24% sucrose did not reduce the pain associated with eye examinations in preterm infants. Pacifiers dipped in sucrose can be used to maintain better oxygen saturation during these examinations.
