Abstract

Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to assign 30 neonates each in experimental and control group.

The experimental group received 2 ml of 10% dextrose, 2 minutes before the venipuncture and control group received only standard care. Results: The study concluded that post interventional pain scores in the experimental was lesser than those of the control group. In case of heart rate, both the experimental and control group had increase in the heart rate but the increase in the control group was greater. Both the experimental and control group had reduction in oxygen saturation during venipuncture, but the reduction was much greater in control group. The cry duration in the experimental group was lesser than the control group. No association was found between pain and physiological parameters and between pain and cry duration.
