Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a 24% sucrose gel compared to liquid sucrose and breastfeeding to reduce pain during heel prick procedures in neonates.
- - A total of 195 neonates were randomly assigned to receive either breastfeeding, liquid sucrose, or sucrose gel, with pain assessed using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale.
- - Findings indicated that while all methods were effective, sucrose gel showed significantly lower odds of pain compared to liquid sucrose, suggesting it may be a suitable alternative when breastfeeding isn't an option.
