We evaluated whether a second dose of sucrose was more effective than a single dose during venipuncture. We performed a randomised, double-blind, controlled trial at the NICU of Padua Hospital (August 2016-October 2017). We randomised 72 preterm infants undergoing venipuncture for routine test to a control group, which received a single standard dose of sucrose 2' before the procedure and a placebo 30″ after the venipuncture, and an experimental group in which they received two doses of 24% sucrose 2' before and 30″ after the venipuncture. No difference in pain perception was found between the groups at 30″, 60″ and 120″. In conclusion, we do not recommend a second dose of sucrose during venipuncture in prematures.
