Written guidelines based on current research on infant pain assessment and management were developed by an interdisciplinary team in a neonatal intensive care unit of a regional medical center. Charts for infants who had undergone abdominal surgery were reviewed to compare patient outcomes before and after use of this pain management protocol. With the standardization of pain management strategies, the following improvements were noted: decreased length of time to extubation, decreased length of stay, better fluid management, and reduced side effects of narcotics. Additional benefits included improved pain management documentation, decreased cost, and decreased nursing time.
