NCT06354816

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.

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.

First volunteers will undergo insertion of PIVC into the vessel at dorsum manus; 2-10 hours later: All volunteers will undergo insertion of PIVC into the forearm/cubita. Physiological saline solution serves as a placebo and is applied with a dispenser dispensing 0.1ml per pulse on the area of the skin, where the insertion of the PIVC is planned.
