  1. Use Of Sucrose In Paediatric Immunisations Dr Nadeem Akhtar

  2. Non-Malificence • Key ethical principle in medicine • Aim to do no harm • Every effort should be made to minimise pain • WHO refers to pain management as a fundamental human right

  3. Painful Procedures • Venepuncture • Cannulation • Injections • PAEDIATRIC IMMUNISATIONS

  4. What can be done? • Non pharmalogical • Freindley environment • Parental factors • Swaddling • Pacifiers • Pharmacological • Sucrose

  5. Evidence • Cochrane review “ • “Babies undergoing painful procedures need help to have their pain reduced” • “The review of trials found that giving sucrose to babies decreases their crying time and other pain indicators such as facial action”

  6. Evidence • Archieves of Paediatrics, Evidence based review • “All of the included studies reported that sucrose provided effective short-term pain management in children less than 24 months of age” • “for routine immunizations, a 24% oral sucrose solution was an effective analgesic”

  7. Evidence • Great Ormand Street Sucrose protocol • “Reduces distress associated with painful procedures” • “Is safe, and easily administered” • Recommend 24% Sucrose • Indications IM/SC injections

  8. Audit Cycle 1 • Audit current practice during routine paediatric immunisations against evidence • Aim observe 3 immunisations clinics (18 pts)

  9. Proforma • Age • No. Of injections • Site • Vaccine used • Pharmacological method used ( Sucrose) • Non pharmacological methods used • Pain score • No response • Grimace • Cry • Nurse Score 0-10 (10 excellent)

  10. Results Cycle 1 • 20 babies • Average age 18 weeks (range 12-52weeks) • Each baby received 2/3 IM injections • None received sucrose • 18 cried • 2 grimaced • Nurse average rating was 5.5

  11. Recommendations After Cycle 1 • Aim to apply current evidence • Write up protocol • Training • Ensure materials available • Sucrose • Syringes • REAUDIT

  12. Audit Cycle 2 • Audit current practice during routine paediatric immunisations against evidence • Aim observe 3 immunisations clinics (18 pts)

  13. Proforma • Age • No. Of injections • Site • Vaccine used • Pharmacological method used ( Sucrose) • Non pharmacological methods used • Pain score • No response • Grimace • Cry • Nurse Score 0-10 (10 excellent)

  14. Results Cycle 2 • 20 babies • Average age 16 weeks (range 9-24weeks) • Each baby received 2/3 IM injections • All babies recieved sucrose • 16 cried • 3 grimaced • 1 no response • Nurse average rating was 7.5 • Crying time less

  15. Recommendations After Cycle 2 • Evidence suggests sucrose works • Aim to continue to apply current evidence • Posters and leaflets to inform parents • Doctors to be trained and introduce idea of sucrose during baby checks • To share information with other practices and encourage the use of sucrose in all practices • REAUDIT

  16. Pro’s & Con’s Pro’s • Effective analgesia • Nurses and parents feel better • Evidence based practice Con’s • Cost • Time • Consent • Other factors
