Date Issued:
2017
Summary:
Medical intervention is required for positive growth and improvement in newborns, especially preterm infants. Premature infants often require heel-pricking procedures, such as the Guthrie test, in order to determine if the child has a variety of diseases such as sickle cell anemia. The Guthrie test can have a negative effect on the patients’ behavior and psychological state: pain management in this procedure is critical. There are several ways to reduce pain in the patient including, but not limited to: swaddling, breastfeeding, Kangaroo Mother Care method, oral glucose, and lullaby music. The Kangaroo Mother Care method and oral glucose are some of the more effective pain management tools used during the Guthrie test in preterm infants.
