Qin Y, Liu S, Yang Y, Zhong Y, Hao D, Han H. Effects of human milk odor stimulation on feeding in premature infants: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8964. [PMID: 38637563 PMCID: PMC11026474 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-59175-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Previous studies suggested odor stimulation may influence feeding of premature neonates. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was conducted to assess the effect of human milk odor stimulation on feeding of premature infants. All randomized controlled trials related to human milk odor stimulation on feeding in premature infants published in PubMed, Cochrane, Library, Medline, Embase, Web of science databases and Chinese biomedical literature databases, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP) and Wanfang Chinese databases were searched, and The Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 was used to evaluate the quality and authenticity of the literature. Relevant information of the included studies was extracted and summarized, and the evaluation indexes were analyzed using ReviewManager5.3. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to July 28, 2022.12 articles were assessed for eligibility, and six randomized controlled studies were eventually included in the meta-analysis (PRISMA). A total of 6 randomized controlled studies with 763 patients were finally included in the study, and the quality evaluation of literatures were all grade B. Human milk odor stimulation reduced the transition time to oral feeding in premature infants [SMD = - 0.48, 95% CI (- 0.69, - 0.27), Z = 4.54, P < 0.00001] and shortened the duration of parenteral nutrition [MD = - 1.01, 95% CI (- 1.70, - 0.32), Z = 2.88, P = 0.004]. However, it did not change the length of hospitalization for premature infants [MD = - 0.03, 95% CI (- 0.41, 0.35), Z = 0.17, P = 0.86]. The implementation of human milk odor stimulation can reduce the transition time to oral feeding and the duration of parenteral nutrition in premature infants, but further studies are needed to determine whether it can reduce the length of hospital stay in premature infants. More high-quality, large-sample studies are needed to investigate the effect of human milk odor stimulation on the feeding process and other outcomes in premature infants.

Testing detectability, attractivity, hedonic specificity, extractability, and robustness of colostrum odor-Toward an olfactory bioassay for human neonates. Dev Psychobiol 2024; 66:e22474. [PMID: 38419350 DOI: 10.1002/dev.22474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Human milk odor is attractive and appetitive for human newborns. Here, we studied behavioral and heart-rate (HR) responses of 2-day-old neonates to the odor of human colostrum. To evaluate detection in two conditions of stimulus delivery, we first presented the odor of total colostrum against water. Second, the hedonic specificity of total colostrum odor was tested against vanilla odor. Third, we delivered only the fresh effluvium of colostrum separated from the colostrum matrix; the stability of this colostrum effluvium was then tested after deep congelation; finally, after sorptive extraction of fresh colostrum headspace, we assessed the activity of colostrum volatiles eluting from the gas chromatograph (GC). Regardless of the stimulus-delivery method, neonates displayed attraction reactions (HR decrease) as well as appetitive oral responses to the odor of total colostrum but not to vanilla odor. The effluvium separated from the fresh colostrum matrix remained appetitive but appeared labile under deep freezing. Finally, volatiles from fresh colostrum effluvium remained behaviorally active after GC elution, although at lower magnitude. In sum, fresh colostrum effluvium and its eluate elicited a consistent increase in newborns' oral activity (relative to water or vanilla), and they induced shallow HR decrease. Newborns' appetitive oral behavior was the most reproducible response criterion to the effluvium of colostrum. In conclusion, a set of unidentified volatile compounds from human colostrum is robust enough after extraction from the original matrix and chromatographic processing to continue eliciting appetitive responses in neonates, thus opening new directions to isolate and assay specific volatile molecules of colostrum.

Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to determine the effect of the breast milk odor on the pain and stress levels of the newborn during the endotracheal suction procedure. Method: The study was conducted in the randomized-controlled experimental design at the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital in eastern Turkey between March 2022 and December 2023. The study population included newborns at the 37th to 41st gestational weeks who were receiving mechanical ventilation treatment in the neonatal intensive care unit of a hospital in eastern Turkey. All newborns who met the inclusion criteria during the data collection phase were included in the study. The study was completed with 88 newborns (44 in the intervention group and 44 in the control group). The Newborn Introductory Information Form, ALPS-Neo Newborn Pain and Stress Assessment Scale, and follow-up form were used to collect the study data. The breast milk odor of the mothers of the newborns was used as the intervention group in the study. The mothers of the newborns were contacted to obtain breast milk, and the information was obtained from the mother on the day of the procedure. One milliliter of breast milk was taken and dropped into a sterile sponge, and it was held 10 cm away from the baby's nose from 5 minutes before to 5 minutes after endotracheal suction. A routine endotracheal suction process was performed in the control group. Ethical principles were followed in the study. Results: We found that the intervention group's pain and stress score averages were lower than the control group during and after the endotracheal suction procedure (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We found that the breast milk odor reduced the pain, stress levels, and crying duration of newborns during the endotracheal suction process.

Explore (NY) 2024; 20:206-211. [PMID: 37635050 DOI: 10.1016/j.explore.2023.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Since preterm infants frequently undergo painful diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, pain management, especially through non-pharmacological methods, will be extremely beneficial. Accordingly, the present study aimed to compare the effects of aromatherapy with breast milk, Lavandula stoechas, and Rosa damascena on venipuncture pain in preterm infants. METHODS In this interventional study, preterm infants were randomly divided into four groups of aromatherapy with breast milk (25 infants), Lavandula stoechas (25 infants), Rosa damascena (25 infants), and sham (25 infants). One minute before, during, and two minutes after venipuncture, the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) as well as heart rate and SPO2 were measured. RESULTS The results indicated that pain intensity was significantly lower during and after venipuncture in all the aromatherapy methods compared with the sham group (P < 0.001). Breast milk odor decreased the pain more than the other two odors during and after venipuncture (P < 0.001); however, there was no significant difference between Lavandula stoechas and Rosa damascena (P = 0.94). SPO2 was significantly higher in infants in the Lavandula stoechas (P < 0.001) and Rosa damascena (P = 0.03) groups compared with the sham infants. CONCLUSION All three aromatherapy methods were effective in decreasing preterm infants' venipuncture pain. Since no study on the effect of aromatherapy with Rosa damascena was found in this regard, the effectiveness of aromatherapy with Rosa damascena is of great importance, and future studies are recommended to analyze this topic in greater depth.

[PMID: 36944698 PMCID: PMC10030645 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-29913-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Even though the stress secondary to invasive procedures has been investigated, less attention has been paid to the stimulation or pain caused by routine procedures on neonates. The changes in salivary cortisol concentration in mechanically ventilated NICU patients during routine procedures were monitored to provide reference and guidance for pain management. 80 mechanically ventilated neonates in the hospital from Sep 2021 to Mar 2022 were selected. The salivary cortisol levels of the neonates were monitored during nursing procedures and were categorized by their risk levels to the following groups: high-risk (endotracheal suctioning and arterial blood sampling), moderate-risk (gastric tube insertion, venipuncture), and low-risk (bedside bathing and diaper changes). The changes in heart rate were also recorded and compared. The concentration of cortisol in the saliva of the neonates was 1.5 ± 0.8 nmol/L during the sleeping state, 6.2 ± 1.3 nmol/L during endotracheal suctioning, 6.4 ± 1.4 nmol/L during arterial blood sampling, 6.1 ± 1.2 nmol/L during venipuncture, 4.4 ± 1.1 nmol/L during gastric tube insertion, 3.5 ± 0.8 nmol/L during bedside bathing, and 3.3 ± 0.9 nmol/L during a diaper change. The results revealed a statistically significant effect between routine procedures on salivary cortisol levels. Compared with the neonates in the control sleep state, there was a significant (P < 0.05) change in salivary cortisol concentration of infants undergoing high and moderate-risk nursing procedures. There was a small but significant (P < 0.05) change in salivary cortisol levels in infants who underwent low-risk procedures compared to infants in the control sleep state. Further, the fluctuation of salivary cortisol levels in routine procedures was more frequent compared with routine handling at night. The fluctuations of salivary cortisol concentration in high-risk procedures were larger than that of infants who underwent low-risk procedures, with the difference being statistically significant (P < 0.05). It was also determined that the top four influencing factors on the infants' heart rate were arterial blood sampling venipuncture, intubation, endotracheal suctioning, and gastric tube insertion (P < 0.05). Monitoring the saliva cortisol concentration index and heart rates can reflect the impact of different routine procedures on newborns and can be used to manage neonatal pain in the future.

Effect of Non-Pharmacological Methods in the Reduction of Neonatal Pain: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2023; 20:3226. [PMID: 36833919 PMCID: PMC9959594 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20043226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 02/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/10/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
In neonatology, neonates have traditionally been considered incapable of feeling pain, due to the immaturity of their nervous system. Currently, there is sufficient information on the perception of pain in neonates; however, this treatment at this crucial stage for development requires a better approach. For this reason, the aim of this study was to analyse the efficacy of non-pharmacological analgesia interventions during heel prick, and to assess their effects on heart rate (HR), premature infant pain profile (PIPP) and O2 saturation. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed following the guidelines of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA), and the Cochrane collaboration handbook. The databases PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL and Science Direct were searched until the end of January 2022. The DerSimonian and Laird methods were used to estimate the effect size with a 95% confidence interval (CI95%). Effect size estimates were 0.05 (95% CI: -0.19, 0.29) for HR, -0.02 (95% CI: -0.24, 0.21) for PIPP scale, and -0.12 (95% CI: -0.29, 0.05) for O2 saturation. The non-pharmacological interventions analysed (breastfeeding, kangaroo-mother care method, oral sucrose and non-nutritive sucking) were not statistically significant in reducing neonatal pain, but did influence the decrease in pain score and a faster stabilisation of vital signs.

Variations in care of neonates during therapeutic hypothermia: call for care practice bundle implementation. Pediatr Res 2023:10.1038/s41390-022-02453-6. [PMID: 36624286 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-022-02453-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Revised: 11/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is the gold-standard treatment for moderate and severe neonatal encephalopathy (NE). Care during TH has implications for long-term outcomes. Outcome variability exists among neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Canada, but care variations are not understood well. This study examines variations in care practices for neonates with NE treated with TH in NICUs across Canada. METHODS A non-anonymous, web-based questionnaire was emailed to tertiary NICUs in Canada providing TH for NE to assess care practices during the first days of life and neurodevelopmental follow-up. RESULTS Ninety-two percent (24/26) responded. Centres followed national guidelines regarding the use of the modified Sarnat score to assess the initial severity of NE, the need to initiate TH within the first 6 h of birth, and the importance of follow-up. However, other practices varied, including ventilation mode, definition/treatment of hypotension, routine echocardiography, use of sedation, use of electroencephalogram (EEG), MRI timing, placental analysis, and follow-up duration. CONCLUSIONS NICUs across Canada follow available national guidelines, but variations exist in practices for managing NE during TH. Development and implementation of a consensus-based care bundle for neonates during TH may reduce practice variability and improve outcomes. IMPACT This survey describes the current HIE care practices and variation among tertiary centres in Canada. Variations exist in the care of neonates with NE treated with TH in NICUs across Canada. This paper Identifies areas of variation that are not discussed in detail in the national guidelines and will help to set up quality improvement initiatives. Elucidating the variation in care practices calls for the creation and implementation of a national, consensus-based care bundle, with the objective to improve the outcomes of these critically ill neonates.

Abstract
Background: Infants hospitalized in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are exposed to numerous procedures that cause pain. In the literature, pain management methods in infants are evaluated by using breast milk in various ways. However, no study was found on whether the smell of breast milk, its taste, or both are more effective in pain management. Aim: The purpose of this study is to comparatively investigate the efficacy of breast milk taste and/or smell in reducing pain responses in infants undergoing a blood drawing procedure. Methods: The population of this study, which has a randomized controlled prospective design, consisted of infants who were treated in a NICU and met the inclusion criteria. The heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and pain of the infants were evaluated before, during, and after the blood drawing procedure in all groups. Results: During and after the procedure, there were significant differences in terms of pain levels, SpO2 levels, and HR between the groups (p = 0.000). The lowest pain score during the procedure was found in the infants to whom breast milk taste and smell were administered together. The group with the second-lowest pain score was exposed to the taste of breast milk. The group with the highest pain score was the control group. Conclusion: Breast milk smell and taste are recommended for use as a nursing intervention to reduce pain, decrease the HR, and increase SpO2 in the NICU during painful procedures. Future research needs to explore different interventional practices.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of breast milk olfactory stimulation on pain response in premature infants during heel stick tests. Methods: A quasi-experimental randomized controlled trial was conducted in the neonatal intensive care unit of a tertiary-level hospital in Seoul, Korea. A breast milk group was provided olfactory stimulation with breast milk 30 seconds before the start of heel stick sampling, and a control group underwent heel stick sampling without olfactory stimulation. To evaluate infants' pain response, the heel stick procedure was video recorded, and pain response was assessed separately by two blinded research assistants using the Premature Infant Pain Scale (PIPS) through behavioral response, heart rate on physiological monitoring, and blood oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry through the video recording. Results: Forty-eight premature infants (gestational age, within 28-37 weeks, n = 24; control) were included in this study. The pain scores of the breast milk group were significantly lower than those of the control group (z = -2.04, p = 0.021). Conclusion: Breast milk odor may reduce pain in premature infants during heel stick tests.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of breast milk odor either alone or in combination with breast milk taste (via syringe-feeding) to alleviate neonates’ biobehavioral responses to pain during heel-prick procedures. This prospective randomized controlled trial recruited 114 neonates by convenience sampling from a newborn unit of a medical center in Taiwan. Neonates were randomly assigned to three groups: control (gentle touch + human voice), control + breast milk odor, and control + breast milk odor + breast milk taste. Heart rate, oxygen saturation, and voice recordings of crying were measured across heel-prick procedures: baseline, no stimuli (stage 0); during heel prick (Stages 1–4); and recovery (Stages 5–10). Generalized estimating equations and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis compared differences in changes between groups for heart rate, oxygen saturation, and time to crying cessation. Changes in mean heart rate and oxygen saturation in neonates receiving breast milk odor or breast milk odor + breast milk taste were significantly less than those at the corresponding stage for the control group. Among neonates receiving breast milk odor or breast milk odor + breast milk taste, hazard rate ratios for crying cessation were 3.016 and 6.466, respectively. Mother’s breast milk olfactory and gustatory interventions could stabilize the biobehavioral responses to pain during heel prick procedures in neonates.

Neonates with neonatal encephalopathy (NE) often present with multi-organ dysfunction that requires multidisciplinary specialized management. Care of the neonate with NE is thus complex with interaction between the brain and various organ systems. Illness severity during the first days of birth, and not only during the initial hypoxia-ischemia event, is a significant predictor of adverse outcomes in neonates with NE treated with therapeutic hypothermia (TH). We thus propose a care practice bundle dedicated to support the injured neonatal brain that is based on the current best evidence for each organ system. The impact of using such bundle on outcomes in NE remains to be demonstrated.
