Abstract
Until a few years ago, it was claimed that the word 'pain' was inappropriate for newborns, as pain is a subjective experience that newborns, because of their age, cannot have [1], and until the 1980s opioids were rarely administered to newborns in the case of surgery [2]. We are now aware that newborns actually feel pain and that anesthesia reduces brain damage due to hypoxemia, hypertension, tachycardia, variations in heart rate, and increased intracranial pressure provoked by pain [3, 4], all of which are particularly dangerous in premature babies because of the immaturity of their cerebral vasoregulation [5]. © Springer 2008.
