Abstract
Significantly higher pain and FLACC behavior scale score were observed with fentanyl at 2 hours as compared to adenosine 15‑50 µg/kg/min [Table 1]. Fentanyl and adenosine 15‑50 µg/ kg/min had shown significantly less FLACC behavior scale scores at 8 hours as compared to adenosine 4‑6 µg/kg/min [Table 1]. Patients with adenosine 15‑50 µg/kg/min were more or less comfortable during the first 8 hours of study, whereas fentanyl group patients were more comfortable after 12 hours as observed with FLACC scale. Fukunaga et al. (2003) also observed significantly reduced pain scores in their study with adenosine.
