Auricular Acupressure Adjunct Treatment for Opioid Tapering: A Randomized Pilot Feasibility Study.
Opioid medications are necessary in the treatment of critically ill infants; however. prolonged use may lead to withdrawal syndrome. The purpose of this study was to assess feasibility of delivering an acupressure protocol for the treatment of iatrogenic withdrawal in a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit as well as impact and acceptance of acupressure as an adjunct treatment. ⋯ These findings support future research with larger sample sizes to improve clinical treatment of infants physically dependent on sedative medications.
