Do We Still Hurt Newborn Babies?: A Prospective Study of Procedural Pain and Analgesia in Neonates

TL;DR: It is estimated that most neonatal intensive care unit procedures are painful, but only a third of the neonates received appropriate analgesic therapy, and systematic approaches are required to reduce the occurrence of pain and to improve the analgesic treatment of repetitive pain in neonates.
Journal ArticleDOI

The reliability and validity of the COMFORT scale as a postoperative pain instrument in 0 to 3-year-old infants.

TL;DR: Findings support the use of the COMFORT ‘behaviour’ scale to assess postoperative pain in neonates and infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Routine morphine infusion in preterm newborns who received ventilatory support: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: Lack of a measurable analgesic effect and absence of a beneficial effect on poor neurologic outcome do not support the routine use of morphine infusions as a standard of care in preterm newborns who have received ventilatory support.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of sedation levels in pediatric intensive care patients can be improved by using the COMFORT "behavior" scale.

TL;DR: The cutoff points of the COMFORT-B scale in conjunction with the Nurse Interpretation Score of Sedation facilitate the use of sedation algorithms on the pediatric intensive care unit and are a reliable alternative to the originalCOMFORT scale.
