Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate two different heel lancet device in terms of pain response and success of the procedure in the preterm infants undergoing heel puncture. Methods: 100 preterm infants undergoing capillary blood gas analysis or capillary bilirubin monitoring underwent heel puncture, were randomly allocated to blood sampling from the heel with either a conventional manual lancet or an automatic incision device. Primary outcome measures included the Premature Infants Pain Profile (PIPP) score, total duration of procedure, number of heel puncture and number of bruise. The pain response was evaluated using PIPP score and the effectiveness was evaluated using three criteria: total duration of blood sampling, number of puncture, bruising of the heel or ankle. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS ver. 13.0 program. Difference between the groups were analysed with t test (continuous variables) and the Chi square test or Fisher test (categorical variables). Results: The mean PIPP score was 4.91 for the automatic lancet group compared with 5.84 for the conventional manual lancet group (P=0.0255).The number of pain scores above 7 during blood collection did not differ between two groups (P=0.2167). The procedure took less time to perform in the automatic lancet group (mean, 30.69 seconds) than in the conventional lancet group (mean, 48.92 seconds) (P<0.0001). Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the automatic lancet device causes less pain and a shorter procedure time than the conventional manual lancet in preterm infants undergoing heel puncture. On the basis of these results the automatic lancet device is very useful method for blood collection in preterm infants by heel puncture.

목적: 효과적인 미숙아에서의 채혈방법을 모색하기 위해 미숙아에서 발뒤꿈치 천자시 새로운 자동화 천자기구(automatic lancet device)와 기존에 사용되던 고식적 수동식 천자침(conventional manual lancet device) 의 효과를 비교하여 임상에서의 유용성을 알아보고자 한다 방법: 재태 연령 37주 미만의 미숙아 총 100명을 대상으로 하였다. 연구 대상아들은 발뒤꿈치 천자시 무작위로 각 50명씩 고식적 수동식 천자 기구를 사용한 군(50명)과 자동화 천자 기구를 사용한 군(50명)으로 나누었으며, 발뒤꿈치 천자시 통증의 정도 및 천자 횟수, 검사 시간, 출혈의 여부 등을 평가하였다. 통증의 평가는 Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) 점수와 최고 심장 박동수를 측정하였고, 검사시간은 발뒤꿈치 천자 시작으로부터 1개의 microtube에 채혈을 완료하는 시간까지를 측정하여 비교하였다. 천자횟수는 1개의 microtube를 혈액으로 채우기 위해 발뒤꿈치를 천자한 횟수를 측정하였다. 그리고 검사 12시간 이내에 발뒤꿈치 및 발목 주위에 출혈이나 멍 등을 관찰하였다. 결과: 통증을 나타내는 PIPP 점수의 평균은 자동화 천자기구군에서 4.91로 고식적 천자기구 군 5.84에 비해 유의하게 낮게 측정되었다(P=0.0255). 검사에 소요되는 시간은 고식적 천자군에서 평균 48.92초, 자동화 천자군에서 평균 30.69초로 자동화천자기구를 사용한 군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 짧았다(P<0.0001). 천자 횟수의 평균값은, 자동화 천자군에서 1.02로, 고식적 천자군 1.35에 비해 통계적으로 의미 있게 낮았다(P=0.0001). 검사후 출혈반점이나 멍 등은 고식적 천자기구 군에서 15례(30%), 자동화 천자기구 군에서 3례(6%)로 자동화 천자기구 사용 군에서 의미 있게 적게 나타남을 관찰할 수 있었다(P=0.0024). 결론: 자동화 절개형 천자기구(BD QuickHeel)는 검사 실패율이 낮으며, 짧은 시간에 채혈이 가능하고, 멍이나 출혈 같은 부작용이 적어 신생아, 특히 최근 생존율이 향상되어 증가되고 있는 미숙아에서 발뒤꿈치 천자에 의한 채혈에 유용한 도구가 될 수 있겠다.
