Multiple nonpharmacological methods

The preterm babies in this group are swaddled by the nurse with each baby's own blanket 2 minutes before the ROP examination. The nurse will then give the baby 25% dextrose solution orally (0.5ml for those \<32 weeks gestation, 1ml for those \>32 weeks gestation). The nurse then places a pacifier soaked in 25% dextrose solution in the preterm infant's mouth. After these three non-pharmacological methods, the doctor will perform the ROP examination.
