“…Sweet solution is a fast acting pain-relief intervention (within 10 seconds) [20]. Although there is no evidence yet about the dose-response efects [21], dose ranging from 0.5 to 2 mL of 12-24% strength show pain-relief efect [11,22].…”

“…The literature clearly indicates that pediatric pain is under-managed and that unmanaged pediatric pain has detrimental short-term and long-term consequences for children (AAP/APS, 2001; Buscemi et al, 2008;Czarnecki et al, 2011). The literature suggests that younger children may be at a greater risk for long-term effects, as are children who experience repeated painful procedures ( Buscemi et al, 2008;Czarnecki et al, 2011;Fitzgerald, 2005).…”

“…The literature suggests that younger children may be at a greater risk for long-term effects, as are children who experience repeated painful procedures ( Buscemi et al, 2008;Czarnecki et al, 2011;Fitzgerald, 2005). Contrary to the historical myth, there is ample evidence that children do not get used to pain (AAP/APS, 2001; Buscemi et al, 2008;Noel et al, 2010). Clinical research and developments have disproven myths surrounding premature infants' experience of pain in the neonatal intensive care unit in the last decade (Krauss, 2001).…”

“…The avoidance of medical situations ranged from avoiding medical procedures, avoiding doctor visits, and refraining from entering hospitals. Some of these adult behaviours come at large economic costs to society (Buscemi et al, 2008;Kuttner, 2004). Early childhood appears to be a critical period for the development of medical attitudes and behaviour.…”

“…The literature recognizes the complexities surrounding pediatric pain management but stresses that health professionals have an ethical responsibility to apply current research findings to pain management practices (Buscemi et al, 2008;Olmstead et al, 2010). Walco et al (1994) suggest that the principle within responsible medical care to "do no harm", presents an ethical conflict since pain has been proven to be harmful to children.…”

Abstract:Research in the last two decades has revealed the complex nature of pain and has thereby improved the understanding, treatment, and management of pediatric pain by health care practitioners. However, a significant gap between knowledge and practice still exists. Pediatric pain remains under-managed. Several themes emerged in this literature review as factors influencing adequate pain management. These include: outdated beliefs about pain management; inconsistent use of evidence-based interventions; difficulties assessing children's pain; and the role of the values and beliefs of caregivers and practitioners. The literature indicates a high risk of deleterious consequences of undermanaged pediatric pain, linking early health care experiences to later health-seeking behaviours. Implications for practice are considerable. Recommendations include: an individualized "3-P" approach combining pharmacologic, physical and psychological strategies; collaborative approaches eliciting expertise from caregivers and health care professionals across multiple disciplines; and utilizing interventions before, during, and after procedures.

Evid.‐Based Child Health

Background Overviews of reviews are an evolving form of evidence synthesis. The Cochrane Child Health Field has been producing overviews since 2006, during which time the methods that have been used have changed, both due to the development of guidance within The Cochrane Collaboration and to the decisions made by individual author teams. This paper studies the first 29 overviews published in EBCH. Objectives To describe some aspects of the approaches taken in EBCH overviews to producing evidence syntheses relevant to the healthcare needs of children; to highlight the contribution that overviews can make to the knowledge base for treatment for a particular population. Methods Data was extracted on: whether the overview included systematic review (SR) data only, or also data from individual trials not present in the included SRs; name(s) of the Cochrane Review Group (CRG) that prepared the included SRs; topics of the overviews as compared to the topics of the included reviews; age‐subgroup analyses presented in the overviews. Results In 23 overviews, all published in 2012, the authors included trial data as well as SR data; two overviews addressed conditions not explicitly addressed by the included reviews; three overviews included pre‐specified age‐subgroup analyses. Discussion The aim of clinical relevance has been achieved by means such as: drawing from reviews produced by multiple CRGs; using SR evidence to explore clinically relevant topics that may not match exactly with the topics covered by the SRs; ensuring that the evidence in overviews is as up to date as possible by redoing searches and including trials not incorporated in the included SRs; and, where permitted by the data, using age‐subgroup analyses to present the data in a way which matches the stages of childhood development. Conclusion Overview authors are dependent on the nature of the data and methods reported in the included SRs. This suggests a need for further study about how SRs could be conducted in order to facilitate the conduct of overviews. Copyright © 2013 The Cochrane Collaboration.
