The nature and numbers of invasive procedures were studied in 54 consecutive infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. Over 3000 procedures were recorded, 74% in infants below 31 weeks of gestation. One infant (23 weeks' gestation, birth weight 560 g) underwent 488 procedures. Heel prick blood sampling was the most common procedure (56%), followed by endotracheal suction (26%) and intravenous cannula insertion (8%). Invasive procedures which would cause pain or distress to a child are frequently performed on infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. A reduction in the number of procedures, modifying them, or providing adequate analgesia could relieve some of this pain and distress.
对入住新生儿重症监护病房的54例连续婴儿的侵入性操作的性质和数量进行了研究。记录了3000多次操作,其中74%发生在妊娠31周以下的婴儿中。一名婴儿(妊娠23周,出生体重560克)接受了488次操作。足跟采血是最常见的操作(56%),其次是气管内吸引(26%)和静脉插管(8%)。会给儿童带来疼痛或痛苦的侵入性操作在入住新生儿重症监护病房的婴儿中经常进行。减少操作数量、对其进行改进或提供充分的镇痛措施可以减轻部分此类疼痛和痛苦。
