Abstract
Recently, the idea of pain in newborns and its consequences for the body has undergone significant changes, in terms of the need for anesthesia. When a child stays in a perinatal center or maternity hospital, both premature (especially) and full-term children are subjected to a number of painful procedures and manipulations. Pain prevention and an adequate level of analgesia during medical procedures and manipulations will significantly reduce discomfort in a child, help minimize metabolic and hormonal changes that are inevitable in stressful situations, and also increase the child’s tolerance of nursing procedures and painful manipulations. The purpose of the study was to study methods of non - drug anesthesia during painful procedures and manipulations in the conditions of the department for newborns of the Balashikha maternity hospital (intramuscularly administration of sodium bisulfite menadion, vaccination against hepatitis B, blood sampling for neonatal screening). The analysis of several non-drug methods of anesthesia for performing some painful manipulations in the neonatal unit was carried out. The most effective and safe method of anesthesia turned out to be breastfeeding during painful manipulations. Taking into account the results obtained, the Balashikha maternity hospital has introduced into daily practice a technique for anesthetizing newborns while feeding a child from the mother’s breast.
