Summary: | Preterm neonates experience a large number of painful procedures during their stay in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and these procedures are often not accompanied by satisfactory analgesia. 1 2 Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion is a painful intervention employed recurrently to provide a secure venous access. 3 - 7 The aim of this study was to determine whether 25% oral glucose or EMLA cream was a better strategy for controlling pain in preterm neonates undergoing PICC insertion. |
