Abstract
Members returned completed forms out of a total of 66. The results showed that although most anaesthetists in the survey believe that even neonates feel pain, they are reluctant to prescribe analgesia. It was found that the objective signs considered to be most indicative of pain were potentially misleading. ∗Correspondence to: Dr. G.
