Dini Lusney a pediatric nurse from BC Childrens Hospital in Vancouver presented an inservice to the babyroom ayahs, nurses and doctor on the pain protocol used for infants at her hospital.
She included non pharmaceutical methods such as swaddling, patting, warm compresses and soothers to minimize discomfort of IV starts, blood tests or NG feeding tube insertions.
She also presented a pain scale and desribed how to assess pain severity based on facial expressions, hand position or leg movement.
It was a very helpful inservice which we will implement right away.
