Effects of Fetal Positioning During Venipuncture

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study was aimed to examine the effects of fetal positioning during venipuncture on the neonates' pain score and physiological parameters (heart rate, blood-oxygen saturation, body temperature, crying duration) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted between 10.2021-07.2022 with 60 preterm neonates, aged 26-32 week of gestation. Neonates were divided into intervention group (n=30) and control group (n=30) according to the randomization method. The neonates in the intervention group were put into fetal positioning at least 10 minutes before the procedure, and then venipuncture was performed. The fetal positioning was maintained throughout the procedure and the patient was kept in the fetal position for at least five more minutes after the procedure. Changes in the neonates' pain score and crying duration as well as heart rate, blood temperature, blood-oxygen saturation at three time points: before the procedure, immediately after needle insertion, five minutes after needle removal. Data was collected using the sociodemographic form, neonatal observation form and Neonatal Pain, Agitation and Sedation Scale (N-PASS). The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 15 software. The main questions it aims to answer: 1. Does fetal positioning have an effect on pain score of premature neonates? 2. Does fetal positioning have an effect on heart rate of preterm neonates? 3. Does fetal positioning have an effect on oxygen saturation of preterm neonates? 4. Does fetal positioning have an effect on body temperature of the preterm neonates? 5. Does fetal positioning have an effect on the crying duration of preterm neonates?

Clinical Trial Description

Neonates who were hypotonic, lethargic, in shock or had seizures, stage 3-4 intracranial hemorrhage and a history of surgery were not included in the study. Additionally, neonates was taken any analgesic and/or sedative in the last 24 hours were excluded from the study. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
