Summary:
Pain in infants is heartbreaking for new parents, and extremely difficult to treat effectivelyif at all. Every year an estimated 15 million babies are born prematurely, most of whom will then undergo numerous lifesaving but painful procedures, such as heel pricking or insertion of a thin tube known as a cannula to deliver fluids or medicine. Preterm babies in the intensive care unit are subjected to an average of 11 such skin-breaking procedures per day, but analgesia is only used just over one third of the time.
