The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of nonnutritive sucking on the physiological response of preterm infants after suctioning. A quasi-experimental cross over and repeated measurement was employed. Thirty preterm infants were recruited. Heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation were recorded at 1-minute intervals using EKG monitor 10 minutes before, during, and 10 minutes after suctioning. In the intervention group, water-moistened pacifiers were placed into preterm infants' mouths immediately after suctioning. Results indicated that after suctioning 1 minute intervention group had a more stable heart rate 7.93 bpm (t=2.066, P＜.05). There was a significant difference on oxygen saturation between two groups after suctioning 1 to 2 minutes (t=-4.186,-2.962, P=.000, .003) showing 1.9% higher oxygen saturation in the intervention group. We hope to provide this evidence to the clinical setting.
