Sarah:

 

We use it all the time for all procedures including PIVs, spinal taps, ect…

I have had great success with this product. I have found it works best if I am able to keep the infant/premie sucking therefore I have who ever is administering it gtt it into the baby’s mouth while the pacifier is in the mouth all thru the stick.  I actually use less and the patients do not react to the PIV placement nor the art sticks I have done using sucrose.

Subject: sucrose for peds

 

Last night I started a 6-week-old in ER.  They'd given her sucrose

which they claim calms babies (children?) and reduces pain.  She was calm,

but also sick so we weren't sure which was the reason.  The MD claimed

this is a fairly common thing now.

 

Any of you using this?  Thanks!
