Abstract

Purpose : We compared the pain reducing effect of orally administered glucose solution with EMLA cream and pacifiers during venipuncture in newborn infants. Methods : Fifty newborn infants(30 prematures) were enrolled in this study. We performed these four pain-reducing methods to all infants in serial order. Group A(control) did not receive any treatment; to group B, EMLA cream was applied on the skin for 1 hour; group C(or D) received 10 percent(or 30 percent) glucose solution orally; group E used pacifiers. Symptoms and signs associated with pain at venipuncture were measured with the Premature Infants Pain Profile(PIPP) scale. Results : There was no significant difference in the PIPP scores between preterm and fullterm infants. The mean PIPP scores of groups were A : $12.5{\pm}2.5$, B : $10.1{\pm}2.6$, C : $9.4{\pm}2.0$, D : $6.5{\pm}2.1$ and E : $8.7{\pm}2.3$; the mean scores of groups B, C, D and E were significantly lower than that of group A(all, P<0.001 except B(P<0.05)), and the mean score of D was significantly lower than those of B, C and E(P<0.001, P<0.005, P<0.05, respectively). The percentages of patients with PIPP scores above 6, which means pain, were A : 100 percent, B : 82 percent, C : 56 percent, D : 40 percent and E : 70 percent. The percentages of patients with PIPP scores above 12, which means severe pain, were A : 72 percent, B : 30 percent, C : 22 percent, D : 0 percent and E : 14 percent; that of group D was clearly lowest. Conclusion : These results support the use of oral glucose solution, EMLA, and pacifiers for pain reduction as effective intervention at venipuncture in newborn infants. The most effective method was a 30 percent oral glucose solution.

목 적 : 신생아에서 포도당의 경구 투여, 국소 마취 크림인 $EMLA^{(R)}$와 노리개 젖꼭지의 통증 감소 효과를 비교하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2003년 3월부터 12월까지 조선대학교병원 신생아실에 입원한 신생아들을 대상으로 4가지 방법으로 통증 감소를 측정하였다. 제 A군(대조군)은 아무것도 투여하지 않은 군, 제 B군은 $EMLA^{(R)}$ 크림을 바른 군, 제 C군은 10% 포도당액을 먹인 군, 제 D군은 30% 포도당액을 먹인 군, 마지막 제 E군은 노리개 젖꼭지를 물린 군으로 나누어서 통증의 감소를 비교하였다. 통증의 평가는 PIPP 점수를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 미숙아와 만삭아 사이에서 평균 PIPP 점수에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 각 군의 평균 PIPP 점수를 보면 A군 $12.5{\pm}2.5$, B군 $10.1{\pm}2.6$, C군 $9.4{\pm}2.0$, D군 $6.5{\pm}2.1$, E군이 $8.7{\pm}2.3$로 대조군에 비해서 다른 군들이 유의하게 낮았다($EMLA^{(R)}$ 크림군 P<0.05, 그 외 모두, P<0.001). D군의 평균점수가 B, C, E군들의 평균 PIPP 점수에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(각각, P<0.001, P<0.005, P<0.05). 통증을 느끼는 PIPP 6점 이상의 비율을 비교하면 A군 100%, B군 82%, C군 56%, D군 40%, E군은 70%로 D군에서 가장 낮았다. 심한 통증을 느끼는 PIPP 12점 이상의 비율을 비교하면 A군 72%, B군 30%, C군 22%, D군 0%, E군은 14%로 D군이 가장 낮았다. 결 론 : 신생아에서 통증의 감소에 포도당액의 경구 투여, $EMLA^{(R)}$ 크림, 노리개 젖꼭지가 모두 효과가 있었으며, 특히 30% 포도당액의 경구 투여가 가장 효과적이었다.
