摘要：

A prospective controlled blind study was carried out in the Special Care Unit for Newborns to assess the effect of commercially available sweetener on pain relief in newborns. Response to intramuscular injection and the pain stimulus was studied in twenty-five sick newborns, 13 preterm and 12 term, in a blinded fashion. Pain score, duration of cry, heart rate and oxygen saturations were studied. Basal response, responses with sterile water or sweetener were recorded in each baby. Responses to sweetener versus no solution and sweetener versus sterile water were compared by applying paired t-test. The reduction in pain score with sweetener was significant when compared with no solution. The difference was not significant when compared with sterile water. Similarly, duration of cry and heart rate with sweetener were significantly less when compared to sterile water or to no solution. However, the difference in oxygen saturation was not significantly different. Sweetener has an analgesic effect in sick babies. This can minimise adverse effects associated with painful procedures.
