Kangaroo Care modifies preterm infant heart rate variability in response to heel stick pain: pilot study.
BACKGROUND Heel stick is the most common painful procedure for preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units. Resultant pain causes adverse physiological effects in major organ systems. Kangaroo Care (KC), involving mother-infant skin-to-skin contact is a promising analgesic for infant pain; however, the effect of KC on the autonomic nervous system's response to pain is unknown. AIM To det...

متن کاملKangaroo Care (skin contact) reduces crying response to pain in preterm neonates: pilot results.
Crying commonly occurs in response to heel stick and adversely affects the infant's physiologic stability. Minimal crying in response to pain is desired. "Kangaroo Care," skin contact between mother and infant, reduces pain and may reduce crying in response to pain. The purpose of this pilot study was to test Kangaroo Care's effect on the preterm infant's audible and inaudible crying response t...
متن کاملKangaroo mother care diminishes pain from heel lance in very preterm neonates: A crossover trial
BACKGROUND Skin-to-skin contact, or kangaroo mother care (KMC) has been shown to be efficacious in diminishing pain response to heel lance in full term and moderately preterm neonates. The purpose of this study was to determine if KMC would also be efficacious in very preterm neonates. METHODS Preterm neonates (n = 61) between 28 0/7 and 31 6/7 weeks gestational age in three Level III NICU's ...
متن کاملthe effect of kangaroo care on pain and physiological parameters in preterm infants on heel-stick procedure: a randomized controlled, cross-over study
background : due to the higher risk of pain in preterm infants, pain management is important for such infants. the present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of kangaroo care on the severity of pain and physiological parameters after heel-stick in preterm infants. materials and methods: this was a prospective and randomized controlled cross-over study. twenty preterm infants allocated ...
