Summary

To measure and compare pain associated with venipuncture and peripheral intravenous catheter insertion among pediatric emergency department patients randomized to treatment with one of three different pain-reduction strategies: J-Tip® jet injection of 1% buffered lidocaine, J-Tip® jet injection of sterile saline, or application of 4% lidocaine topical cream. The investigators hypothesize that J-Tip® jet injection of 1% buffered lidocaine will provide superior local anesthesia compared to saline or lidocaine cream.

Clinical Details

Official title: Comparison of J-Tip® Jet Injection of 1% Buffered Lidocaine, 4% Lidocaine Topical Cream, and J-Tip® Jet Injection of Placebo Prior to Venipuncture and Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion in a Pediatric Emergency Department

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Jet injection of 1% buffered lidocaine to 4% lidocaine topical cream to measure the effectiveness of jet injection of lidocaine as a local anesthetic prior to venipuncture and PIVC insertion

Secondary outcome:

Jet injection of 1% buffered lidocaine to jet injection of saline to assess and measure a potential placebo effect not measured in prior studies

Second attempt pain scores (if occurred) among the three groups and between their first and second VAS scores

The success of venipuncture or PIVC insertion with all anesthetic techniques

Variety of locations of successful venipuncture or PIVC insertion after jet injection use

Measurement of complication rate after jet injection use
