This study aimed to assess how a less invasive suction protocol affects pain and physiological stability in preterm infants receiving non-invasive ventilation.
Randomized controlled trial with 100 preterm infants aged 32 0/7 to 36 6/7 weeks in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Infants were assigned to less invasive suction or conventional suction protocols, with pain assessed via the N-PASS scale.
Heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were recorded at multiple time points.
Infants in the less invasive group had significantly lower heart rates and higher oxygen saturation levels during suctioning (p < 0.05).
N-PASS pain scores were significantly lower in the less invasive suction protocol group during the procedure (p < 0.05).
No significant differences in respiratory rate between groups at any time point.

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Randomized trial compares less invasive suctioning and conventional methods in preterm infants, indicating reduced pain and improved stability.
