Randomized Controlled Trial
A Randomized Double-Blind Trial Comparing the Effect on Pain of an Oral Sucrose Solution vs. Placebo in Children 1 to 3 Months Old Undergoing Simple Venipuncture.
Few clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of oral sweet solutions for procedures in the emergency department (ED) have been published. ⋯ In infants 1 to 3 months of age undergoing simple venipuncture, administration of an oral sweet solution did not statistically decrease pain scores, and participants' heart rate variations and crying time were not significantly changed.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Single Dose Furosemide to Improve Respiratory Distress in Moderate to Severe Bronchiolitis.
Bronchiolitis is one of the most common disorders of the lower respiratory tract in infants. While historically diuretics have been used in severe bronchiolitis, no studies have looked directly at their early use in children in the emergency department. ⋯ While theoretically a single dose of a diuretic to reduce lung fluid would improve respiratory distress in children with bronchiolitis, our randomized controlled medication trial showed no difference in outcomes.
