[Prevention of pain during finger prick in neonatal infants]
Finger pricking for blood sampling is the most common manipulation in hospital units. Pain control using the rating scales for neonatal acute pain and its analgesia are necessary as the consequences of experienced pain are well known. The oral use of glucose solutions substantially relieves pain during this procedure as compared with neonates receiving no analgesics.
