TREATMENT OF PAIN IN THE NEONATAL INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2000
Pain is a disruptive influence on infants in the NICU. The most obvious and effective strategy to decrease infant pain in the NICU is to stringently limit the frequency of painful procedures, especially those that are most commonly reported (i.e., heel lances and endotracheal suctioning), and have these performed on infants that are most unstable or ...
