Prevention of Pain Caused by the Oro-gastric Tube Laying in Neonatology

About this study

Subject of research : Evaluation of a technique of care to reduce the pain caused by the laying of the gastric tube in the newborn

Read the detailed description

After inclusion, the nurse performs randomization by opening the envelope. The newborn then receives the care with the introduction of the gastric tube after randomization (experimental arm with holed baby bottle nipple and control arm: with pacifier). The treatment is filmed and recorded by a previously installed camera. The films are viewed by two independent experts from the pain of the study, to assess pain by scale score (DAN acute pain of the newborn
