Distraction is a nonpharmacological pain management mode and is a simple, yet effective, technique to redirect

At the Dekalb Medical Center at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), Heel Stick, a small procedure used to measure blood glucose (BG) by pricking the heel, is often performed on newborns (Vedder, & Sawyer, 2015). Also, at the Special Care Nursery (SCN), the Accu-Chek, a hand-held device that calculates the BG level is performed to check the BG level of neonates. In exposure to these two methods of BG intake, the accuracy in analyzing BG in both tests is of interest. Through research and review

The trained bongo were considered ‘crate-conditioned’ and they measured plasma cortisol, glucose levels, and creatine kinase (CK) levels after handling them and performing these procedures. These blood parameters are indicators for stress and were compared to samples taken from bongo who were not crate-conditioned, rather immobilized chemically, with either a dart or pole syringe. Plasma cortisol, glucose levels, and CK levels were shown to be consistently lower in the crate-conditioned individuals
