Analgesic Effect of Inhaled Lavender Essential Oil for Clipping of Tongue-ties

Ankyloglossia

Clipping of the tongue-tie is a common procedure that neonatologists perform in our neonatal unit to help establish breastfeeding. It is a painful technique where the measures healthcare providers usually perform to control pain (such as sucking) cannot be done at the time of the clipping because the technique is performed on the tongue. The aim of this study was to prove that inhaled lavender essential oil during the clipping of the tongue-tie can help control pain. Participants were newborns born at our hospital during the study period. They were offered to participate and enrolled in the study if their parents agreed to and signed an informed consent. The use of inhaled lavender essential oil is safe. No side effects have been found with its use. The procedure of the frenotomy did not change for patients who were enrolled in the study. By demonstrating that inhaled lavender essential oil helps reduce pain, its use was included as part of the regular measures to control pain during frenotomies at our neonatal unit (Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain). The study started in August 2020 and ended in April 2021.

Comparison Among Propofol, Alfentanil and Rocuronium as Adjunct to Sevoflurane Anesthesia for Endotracheal...

Ankyloglossia

Several methods have been demonstrated to improve intubating conditions during sevoflurane induction in children. These include opioids, propofol, and addition of neuromuscular blocking agents in pediatric patients. But the study about the comparison of these agents has been uncommon. Frenectomy is common procedure to treat ankyloglossia. It is a short procedure performed under general anesthesia. The investigators aimed to compare intubating conditions among children with propofol, alfentanil or rocuronium after sevoflurane induction.

Ankyloglossia

Clipping of the tongue-tie is a common procedure that physicians perform in our neonatal unit to help establish breastfeeding. It is a painful technique where the measures usually performed to control pain (such as sucking) cannot be done at the time of the clipping because the technique is performed on the tongue. A previous study conducted at our center proved the benefits of inhaled lavender essential oil to control pain during frenotomy, for which inhaled essential oil is now routinely used when clipping a tongue-tie. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic/soothing effect of inhaled lavender essential oil vs inhaled vanilla essential oil during the clipping of the tongue-tie. Participants will be newborns born at our hospital during the study period (expected to be May to December 2021). Patients will be offered to participate and will be enrolled in the study if their parents agree to and sign an informed consent. The use of inhaled lavender and vanilla essential oils is safe. No side effects have been found with their use. The procedure of the frenotomy will not change for patients who are enrolled in the study. At the moment, inhaled lavender essential oil is used as complementary analgesia for the clipping of tongue-ties in our neonatal unit. By demonstrating which of the two oils has better results, the investigators aim to improve pain management of the patients who undergo a frenotomy. This study will take place at the neonatal unit of Hospital del Mar, Barcelona, Spain.

The Scope of Tongue-tie in Norway: Its Prevalence and Consequences for Child Health

Tongue TieAnkyloglossia

The study is a prospective multi-centre clinical follow-up study of prevalence and severity of tongue-tie in neonates in Norway. During one year around 2600 newborn infants will be examined for tongue-tie in the two participating hospitals. The infants diagnosed with a tongue tie, will be followed to assess the proportion of infants treated and the severity. Feeding outcomes will be observed up to 6 months of age.
