  Clinical studies have shown that premature infants may experience pain in spite of the immaturity of anatomical and functional pathways transmitting nociceptive stimuli [1]. Over the past decade, survival rates for pre-term neonates have increased markedly [2]. The increase in premature birth and survival is provided by O2 therapy and ventilatory management. Oxygen therapy is directly related to Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). Screening examination for ROP is a very brief painful procedure and requires long-term follow-up [3]. Although the management of neonatal pain from major single procedures (eg, postoperative pain) has improved significantly, pain management for multiple and repetitive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures (eg, heel lances, suctioning) have not kept pace [2]. Multiple invasive procedures in premature infants caused marked fluctuations in intracranial pressure, .. Read More»
