Painkillers preparations haven not an effect on preterm infants
|
The French researchers, led by Dr. Ricardo Carbajal the Hospital d'Enfants Armand Trouseau in Paris proved that drugs the group of opioids, used to the pain of premature newborns with little to cut short pain syndrome.
This is because the nervous system of children is not developed sufficiently to respond to the medication, as is the case with adults. Typically, a child of 3 or even 4 months earlier, in need of intensive care. Such children during the time they were in the hospital, often have experienced between 100 and 400 procedures.
The pain, felt preterm infants, affects their future health, says Dr. Ricardo Carbajal. Pain leads to the physiological violations in the body, the child, such as, for example, the reduction of oxygen in the blood or the intracranial pressure. It surveyed 42 premature infants who have as a result of the analysis of the blood was tried on the analgesic effect of the morphine preparation of a group of opioids.
In particular, the analysis of the results obtained after taking a sample of blood and anesthesia is revealed that there is no difference between the use of morphine as an analgesic and placebo. At the same time, failing to meet its core functions, morphine adversely affects the child's. At the Edinburgh University noted that the introduction of morphine premature babies are only in the event of a major surgery, but for short-term pain, it is inefficient.
Since this area anaesthesia newborns at the moment is still virtually unexplored, Scientists talk about the futility of the use of hard drugs and the possibility of the drug free of pain. For example, Doctor Carbajal argues that, based on research findings, a small number of normal sweetening water to the painful procedure has eliminates pain syndrome.
Previously, it was shown that the use of steroid hormones for the treatment of premature babies with severe respiratory disorders, will be able to have a negative impact on their health, physical and mental development.
