| Premature Infant | Other: Installation of a naso-gastric feeding tube | Not Applicable |
Our clinical study (carried out in the Neonatology Unit of Mercy Regional Hospital) has shown that when positioning and other non drug related analgesic techniques are used, newborns undergoing naso-gastric tube insertion feel less pain.
Several different techniques were used, such as skin-to-skin contact with the mother and/or positioning the infant using appropriate equipment, or the "four hands" technique carried out by two health care professionals.
Neonatal unit staff were able to choose the method used depending on whether the mother was present at the time of the procedure.
In cases where the mother was absent, the "four hands technique" was favored, but in the presence of the mother skin-to-skin contact was preferable.

|---|---|

Skin-to-skin support
The newborn is dressed in one layer of clothing with a hat, he is placed in the ventral position directly on the mother's chest, covered with a warm blanket and held in place with a band during the insertion of the naso-gastric feeding tube.
|
Other: Installation of a naso-gastric feeding tube
Insertion of the feeding tube with skin-to-skin contact or whilst being held in the mother's arms, or by using the four hands technique or by performing positional support with appropriate equipment
|
|
Holding
The newborn is held in his mother's arms during insertion of the naso-gastric feeding tube.
|
Other: Installation of a naso-gastric feeding tube
Insertion of the feeding tube with skin-to-skin contact or whilst being held in the mother's arms, or by using the four hands technique or by performing positional support with appropriate equipment
|
|
Four hands care
Carried out by two professionals: one health-care professional supports the child and helps stabilize the newborn whilst the other professional inserts the naso-gastric feeding tube.
|
Other: Installation of a naso-gastric feeding tube
Insertion of the feeding tube with skin-to-skin contact or whilst being held in the mother's arms, or by using the four hands technique or by performing positional support with appropriate equipment
|
|
Containing support with equipment
Carried out by one healthcare Professional, who places the newborn in such a manner that he will be held in the optimum position (using a soft sheet) during the insertion of the naso-gastric feeding tube.
|
Other: Installation of a naso-gastric feeding tube
Insertion of the feeding tube with skin-to-skin contact or whilst being held in the mother's arms, or by using the four hands technique or by performing positional support with appropriate equipment

Pain during insertion of the probe [ Time Frame: Day 1 ] Evaluation of the newborn's pain during insertion of the naso-gastric tube using the Premature Infant Pain Profile (PIPP) scale. The PIPP consists of 3 behavioral (facial actions: brow bulge, eye squeeze, and nasolabial furrow) and 2 physiological (heart rate and oxygen saturation) indicators, and 2 contextual [gestational age (GA) and behavioral state] variables that modify pain. In the same time, the heart rate and oxygen saturation of the newborns were measured using a pulse oximeter.

| Brief Summary | Out of the most commonly performed procedures in neonates, naso-gastric tube insertion is rated as the fifth most painful. The pain is often under estimated due to the frequency with which the procedure is carried out. It has been shown that the environment in which the procedure is performed (e.g with skin to skin contact and specific positioning), reduces the discomfort felt by the newborn. However, this has not yet been proven with regards to naso-gastric tube insertion. | ||||||||
