    Pain response of neonates to venipuncture.
    (2005-09-28) Taksande, Amar M; Vilhekar, K Y; Jain, M; Chitre, D
    OBJECTIVE: To study the physiological and behavioral response to pain. METHODS: 80 healthy neonates requiring bilirubin estimation, blood sugar etc, were randomly assigned to receive a venous puncture. All parameters were recorded 10 minutes prior, during and 10 minutes after the procedure. Evaluated NIPS score and RR. HR, NIBP and O2 saturation observed on Datex-Ohmeda multimonitor. RESULTS: After the venepuncture, heart rate (p<0.001) and blood pressure (p<0.001) were significantly increased in both the groups but more significant increase was present in Group I (>2.5 kg) as compared to Group II (>2.5 kg). Respiratory rate was also increased but more significant in Group II (p<0.001) whereas oxygen saturation was decreased in both the groups but more significant in Group I (p<0.001). Median Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) score was higher in both the Groups (p<0.001). CONCLUSION: The outcome measures appear to be reliable indices of term neonates responses to painful stimulation. NIPS are suitable instruments for neonatal pain evaluation.

    Marden-Walker syndrome (MWS) is characterized by multiple joint contractures, a mask-like face with blepharophimosis, micrognathia, high-arched or cleft palate, low-set ears, decreased muscular bulk, arachnodactyly, and kyphoscoliosis. We report a case of MWS along with unusual manifestation of neurological, cardiovascular, and genitourinary system.
