Brief Summary
Volunteers are invited to undergo 4 insertions of a peripheral intra-venous 18-gauge catheter (PIVC); 2 insertions at the the start of the study on the plantar side of the hand/vessel at the dorsum manus, 2 insertions after 2-10 hours into the forearm/cubita with and without application of a 10-% lidocaine spray (5 hubs of xylocaine 10%-pump spray; AstraZeneca BV, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands) prior to the insertion of the PIVC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pain Difference Caused by PIVC (Peripheral Intravenous Catheter) Rated by NRS (Numeric Rating Scale) Between Application of 10% Licocaine Spray and Placebo-for the Hand/Vessel at the Dorsum Manus and for the Forearm/Cubita.
The volunteer is asked to mark her pain level in NRS (Numeric Rating Scale). NRS is a 11 point scale (0-10) where patients rate their pain intensity, with 0 being "no pain" and 10 being "the worst pain" imaginable. This tool is commonly used to measure pain severity, categorizing it as mild (1-3), moderate (4-7) or severe (8-10). To measure pain caused by PIVC (Peripheral Intravenous Catheter) rated by NRS, separately analyzed for placebo and LDA (Lidocaine 10% spray - local anesthetic) treated on the hand: vessel at the dorsum manus and forearm/cubita. In summary, this results in 4 groups (combinations of treatment-location). The NRS values reported in this outcome measure are the same as those reported in Outcome Measure 3. This outcome measure is included separately to present the pre-specified statistical comparisons of Hand - Placebo vs. Hand - LA and Forearm - Placebo vs. Forearm - LA, which differ from those presented in the companion measure.

EXPERIMENTALVessel at the dorsum manus: dominant/ LA (Local anaesthesia) - non-dominant/ placebo Forearm/cubita: dominant/ LA (Local anaesthesia) - non-dominant/ placebo
Interventions
First volunteers will undergo insertion of PIVC into the vessel of dorsum manus; 2-10 hours later: All volunteers will undergo insertion of PIVC into the forearm/cubita. Lidocaine spray 10 % serves as a local anesthesia is applied with a dispenser dispensing 0.1ml per pulse on the area of the skin, where the insertion of the PIVC is planned. Exposure time is 2 min, timed with an hour glass; validated prior to the study by a stop watch. 0.5 ml (5 pulses) of 10% lidocaine spray (equals 50mg of lidocaine) are to be applied before insertion of a PIVC 18 Gauge.
