Intravenous and Topical Analgesics for Procedural Pain in Neonates

October 10, 2006 updated by: The Hospital for Sick Children

Systemic Analgesia and Local Anaesthesia for Percutaneous Venous Catheter Placement in Preterm Neonates

This study will test which type of pain medication is best for the management of pain in newborn preterm and full-term infants having a deep intravenous cannula inserted. It will compare the effectiveness of intravenous morphine alone, a local anaesthetic cream (amethocaine) alone, and both medications together. It will also determine the safety of both medications.
