RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyse compliance with the recommendations on the insertion-maintenance of peripheral venous catheters (PVC) and the incidence of complications according to the healthcare department that inserted the PVCs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort follow-up study of PVCs, from their insertion in the emergency or internal medicine (IM) department until their withdrawal. RESULTS: We monitored 590 PVCs, 274 from the emergency department and 316 from IM. In terms of compliance with the process indicators, there was a cannulation rate in the antecubital fossa of 3.5 and 1.6 per 100 catheters-day (P<.001) in the emergency and IM departments, respectively. The sterile placement rates were 1.6 and 12.4 (P<.001), and the rate for transparent dressing was 2.1 and 11.5 (P<.001) per 100 catheters-day in the emergency and IM departments, respectively. The complications rates showed no differences between the departments. The most common complication was phlebitis (95 cases, 16.1%). CONCLUSIONS: Compliance with the insertion-maintenance recommendations for PVC showed differences between the departments; however, the incidence of complications was similar.
RESUMO
AIM: Repeated, ongoing exposure to pain influences the growth, cognitive and motor functions, behaviour, personality and neurodevelopment of preterm infants. We compared the analgesic effects of expressed breast milk (EBM) and 24% oral sucrose on preterm neonates during venipuncture. METHODS: This multicentre randomised, noninferiority, crossover trial focused on five neonatal university units in Madrid, Spain, from October 2013 to October 2014. It comprised 66 preterm infants born at less than 37 weeks and randomly split into two groups. They received either EBM or sucrose two minutes before venepuncture, together with nonnutritive sucking and swaddling, then the opposite procedure at a later point. Pain was measured with the premature infant pain profile (PIPP) and crying was also measured. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The PIPP scores were seven (4-9) with breast milk and six (4-8.25) with sucrose (p = 0.28). The 11 infants born at under 28 weeks of age showed higher median scores of nine (9-14) for breast milk and four (4-7) for sucrose (p = 0.009). CONCLUSION: EBM and 24% sucrose had the same analgesic effect during venipuncture in most of the preterm neonates, but sucrose worked better in extremely preterm infants.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the perceptions of nurses in neonatal units on pain management, meet the educational profile and describe the use of pain assessment tools and non-pharmacological management for treatment. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive multicentre study, developed during the months of February to September 2015, in the neonatology services of three hospitals at the Community of Madrid, Spain. Data collection was performed through an ad hoc questionnaire on paper or electronically using Survey Monkey platform. RESULTS: The sample consisted of 142 professionals, with a response rate of 55%: 47.9% (68) confirmed they had received specific training in pain management; 39.5% (56) stated that pain is regularly assessed in the unit; only 43.6% reported using validated scales, the most used being the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP). As for the non-pharmacological management, swaddling and non-nutritive sucking it is the most used, followed by sucrose. Intravenous cannulation was identified as the most painful procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Pain management is in the process of improvement, because of training and because there is little pain assessment using validated scales. The improvement in the use of non-pharmacological management for the relief of pain in minor procedures is noteworthy.

Objetivo Analizar la adherencia a las recomendaciones de inserción-mantenimiento del catéter venoso periférico (CVP) y la incidencia de complicaciones según el servicio asistencial de inserción. Pacientes y métodos Estudio de cohortes prospectivo de seguimiento del CVP desde su inserción en Urgencias o Medicina Interna (MI) hasta su retirada. Resultados Se monitorizaron 590 CVP: 274 de Urgencias y 316 de MI. Entre la adherencia a indicadores de proceso destaca la tasa de canalización en fosa antecubital de 3,5 vs. 1,6 por 100 catéteres-día (p <0,001) en Urgencias y MI, respectivamente. La tasa de fijación estéril fue 1,6 vs. 12,4 (p <0,001) y el apósito transparente de 2,1 vs. 11,5 (p <0,001) por 100 catéteres-día en Urgencias y MI, respectivamente. Las tasas de complicaciones no mostraron diferencias entre los servicios. La más frecuente fue la flebitis 95 (16,1%). Conclusiones La adherencia a las recomendaciones de inserción-mantenimiento del CVP mostró diferencias entre servicios; sin embargo, la incidencia de complicaciones fue similar (AU)

Objetivos: Describir las percepciones del personal de enfermería de unidades neonatales sobre el manejo del dolor, conocer el perfil formativo y describir el uso de herramientas de valoración del dolor y de medidas no farmacológicas. Método: Estudio multicéntrico observacional descriptivo transversal desarrollado durante febrero-septiembre de 2015 en los Servicios de Neonatología de tres hospitales de la Comunidad de Madrid, España. La recogida de datos se realizó a través de cuestionario de elaboración propia enviado en formato papel o electrónico utilizando la plataforma Survey Monkey®. Resultados: La muestra consta de 142 profesionales (tasa de respuesta: 55%). El 47,9% (68) afirman que han recibido formación específica sobre el manejo del dolor. El 39,5% (56) refieren que el dolor se evalúa de forma habitual en su unidad. Tan solo el 43,6% refieren utilizar escalas validadas, siendo la PIPP la más usada. La contención y la succión no nutritiva son las medidas no farmacológicas más usadas, seguidas de la sacarosa. Se identifica la canalización intravenosa como el procedimiento más doloroso. Conclusiones: El manejo del dolor está en vías de mejora, ya sea por la formación como por la escasa evaluación a través de escalas validadas. Destaca la mejora en el uso de medidas no farmacológicas (AU)
