Reducing Pain During Orogastric Tube Insertion in Newborns: Use of Pacifiers and Pacifiers Sweetened With 25% Dextrose

Camera recording was started 2 minutes before OGT placement and only a pacifier was given to the newborn. After the pacifier in the OGT intervention group was placed in the mouth of the given baby in the form of leaking from the mouth, it was inserted by advancing the baby's swallowing reflex from the esophagus to the stomach. It was checked whether the orogastric tube was in the right place. After the evaluation period was completed and the baby was comfortable, the recording was stopped.
