NCT04246255: Pain Relief During Intravenous Cannulation in Pediatric Patients

Summary

Performing intravenous (IV) cannulation to pediatric patients might be much harder than adult ones according to their anxiety levels. However, managing adult patients during intravenous cannulation is also challenging if he or she had a noxious memory about the situation or has a low pain threshold. Therefore, it is essential to relieve the pain of an IV needle or an IV cannula insertion in the pediatric patient population. Lidocaine Hcl spray (Xylocaine 10% Oral ) will be utilized to the research group, and Serum Physiologic (Serum Fizyolojik %0,9 10 ml ampule, Biofarma İlaç San. ve Tic A.Ş., İstanbul, Turkey) will be utilized to the control group of the study. Both medications will be administrated by spraying the formula three times to an adhesive bandage and placing it to the skin that IV cannulation will be performed. After waiting for a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 15 minutes ( waiting time is closely associated with the patient's anxiety level), IV cannulation will be performed from the same area by an experienced pediatric nurse. The investigator hypothesizes that utilizing the spray form of the Lidocaine Hcl formula to the skin with an adhesive bandage before IV cannulation might lower the pain of the manipulation in pediatric patients, which might cause lower anxiety levels with stable vital signs.
