Heel Lance

Introduction: The heel-lance (HL) method for blood collection from the newborn is controversial for the pain it causes. This is the first randomized controlled trial on the management and reduction of pain using the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (“Sonata K. 448”) in premature infants hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study has compared nonpharmacological techniques with standard procedure for reducing pain during HL procedure. Methods: Thirty-five premature infants were enrolled, each for 3 HL procedures, of which each was randomized to 1 of the 3 study arms. Arms were then compared in terms of the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) changes by analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: One hundred five HL procedures were available for analysis (35 standard procedure, 35 music, 35 glucose). Median baseline PIPP was 3, and median PIPP after the HL procedure was 5. PIPP scale change was +3 in the control arm, +1 in the glucose arm, +2 in the music arm (p = .008). Discussion: Both glucose and music were safe and effective in limiting pain increase when compared to standard procedure in HL procedures in preterm infants.

The year 1991 has been echoing with the sounds of celebrations marking the bicentenary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who died in 1791 at the age of 35. Mozart spent 15 months in England, mostly in London, arriving in April 1764 three months after his eighth birthday, and leaving in July 1765. The Royal Society was made aware of his prodigious talents as early as 1770, when his extraordinary performances as a musician were described by Daines Barrington in a paper in the Philosophical Transactions (60,55-64). As our tribute to Mozart, that paper is reprinted in reduced facsimile on the next three pages. Full-size versions are available in the Royal Society Library, not only in the various printings of the Philosophical Transactions but also in a book published in 1985, Mozart and the Royal Society .
