Drink it before you do it! Breastfeeding before blood collection can relieve pain.

As the saying goes, "The book has its own golden house. For nurses, the method of nursing patients is not only a technique, but also needs to find effective evidence from the literature. Breastfeeding is an example of relieving pain in newborns. The nursing department of Taipei Rongzong found that feeding 2 ml of breast milk with an empty needle 2 minutes before blood collection from the heel of the newborn can effectively reduce the time of fear and crying of the newborn, which has been applied in clinic.

Taipei Rongzong Nursing Department promotes experiential nursing. Literature review shows that breastfeeding and blood collection can effectively alleviate the pain of newborns, and their application has achieved results in clinic. (Photo courtesy of Taipei Rongzong) Newborns in the nursery need to go through many invasive measures such as heel pricking, intramuscular injection of vitamin K 1 and vaccination after birth. Many parents feel distressed when they hear their children cry, and worry about the side effects of using drugs to relieve pain. Li Yanhui, deputy director of nursing department of Beirong Nursing Department, said that high-concentration sucrose preparation is used for pain relief abroad, but there is no such preparation in China at present, but through literature review, she found that breast milk has been used.

Therefore, Beirong adjusted the steps of invasive measures for newborns, designed breastfeeding as a necessary pre-measure, and fed 2 ml of breast milk with empty needle according to the literature. Results Not only did the newborn's heart beat and breathe smoothly during blood collection, but also the crying time was shortened by half, and even they fell asleep soon after blood collection.

Chen, director of the nursing department of Beirong, said that the so-called "empirical nursing" means that nurses pay attention to patients' needs, use the best evidence available, introduce it into clinic and provide appropriate nursing measures. This empirical care result makes parents very satisfied. Many mothers said, "It's amazing to hear for the first time that breast milk can help your baby relieve pain! After each vaccination, be sure to breast-feed your baby first. It also unexpectedly increased the willingness to breastfeed.

This practice is also very suitable for application before vaccination. However, Li Yanhui reminded that mothers usually adopt pro-feeding, and children eat more breast milk. It is recommended to feed the baby 1 hour in advance, and let the child get vaccinated half an hour later to avoid spitting milk due to eating too much.

In addition, for premature infants with chronic lung disease who need long-term oxygen use, in the past, nurses alternately took supine position, lateral position, prone position or elevated bedside position, hoping to provide the best oxygen concentration.

However, Beirong Nursing Department conducted empirical and systematic literature review, and found that the oxygenation state of premature infants was the best when they took the prone position of 65,438+05 ~ 30 minutes. Therefore, "You are my VIP-Turn-over Table" is designed to help premature infants eat 8 meals a day, and provide 65,438+05 prone position for 30 minutes after each feeding, and then change other positions according to the options after 30 minutes, so that premature infants can obtain the most effective oxygenation state.
