Effect of concomitant opioid analgesics and oral sucrose during heel lancing.
A sub-analysis was conducted of data from a study of prolonged use of sucrose for hospitalized infants (N=50 infants) during heel lancing. Results showed that pain responses differed when opioid analgesics were administered concomitantly with sucrose (n=79 pain assessments), than when sucrose was administered alone (n=364 pain assessments).
