Abstract
A sub-analysis was conducted of data from a study of prolonged use of sucrose for hospitalized infants (N= 50 infants) during heel lancing. Results showed that pain responses differed when opioid analgesics were administered concomitantly with sucrose (n= 79 pain assessments), than when sucrose was administered alone (n= 364 pain assessments). © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
