March Author in the RoomSM Teleconference
Join us on Wednesday, March 15, 2006, from 2:00 - 3:00 PM Eastern Time for the Author in the RoomSM teleconference featuring Anna Taddio, PhD, author of "Intravenous Morphine and Topical Tetracaine for Treatment of Pain in Preterm Neonates Undergoing Central Line Placement."
Key points suggested by this article to be discussed during the call include:
- Infants feel pain during central line placement and this pain can be reduced with analgesics.
- IV Morphine used alone or in combination with Tetracaine Gel is more effective than Tetracaine alone or no treatment.
- IV Morphine and Tetracaine Gel are associated with expected side effects; IV Morphine causes mild respiratory depression and Tetracaine causes reddening discoloration of the skin.
