NCT00924963

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 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

    1\. Pain associated with venipuncture or PIVC insertion after pre-treatment with jet injection of 1% buffered lidocaine versus 4% lidocaine topical cream

    30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (5)

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

    30 minutes

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

    30 minutes

  • The success of venipuncture or PIVC insertion with all anesthetic techniques

    30 minutes

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

    30 minutes

  • Measurement of complication rate after jet injection use

    1 hour
