Hospital in clinical trial
EXETER — Exeter Hospital is one of 26 hospitals participating in a nationwide clinical trial on a model for treating infants exposed to opioids.
The “Eat, Sleep, Console” care model is more effective than the usual care approaches for treating opioid-exposed infants, according to data collected at The Family Center at Exeter Hospital.
Opioid-exposed newborns can develop neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which includes tremors, excessive crying and irritability, and problems with sleeping and feeding.
The “Eat, Sleep, Console” method focuses on how well an infant can eat, sleep, and be consoled. It prioritizes non-pharmacologic care, including increased family presence, holding, swaddling and rocking in low-stimulus environments as first-line treatment.
