These case studies examined the effect of music reinforced nonnutritive sucking on term infants receiving intravenous lines. Intravenous lines are a common invasive procedure that hospitalized infants endure. Subjects were between the ages of 37 weeks gestational age to 1 year of age. This study includes five case studies involving term infants receiving a standard of care intravenous line in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. The control infants (n=2) received no contact and the experimental infants (n=3) received a music intervention paired with nonnutritive sucking. The music intervention involved the use of the Pacifier Activated Lullaby device, which began 3 minutes prior to the procedure. Dependent variables included heart rate, respiration rate, oxygen saturation level, and behavior state. The dependent variables were averaged for each subject and by intervention, and averages were compared. Subjects with the experimental intervention had lower behavior state scores. The heart rate and oxygen saturation levels appeared less stable for the control infants.
