Comparison of intravenous cannulation injectable preanesthetics in an adult medical inpatient population.
Prior intravenous cannulation (IVC) injectable preanesthetic research has focused primarily on the presurgical population. This focus may diminish the applicability of these findings to the rest of the adult inpatient population. To gain a full perspective of the IVC experience, it is important to use samples that are representative of the entire population that health care providers see in practice. This study is the first to examine the adult medical inpatient pain response associated with peripheral IVC for patients receiving subcutaneous buffered lidocaine 1%, subcutaneous normal saline 0.9% with the preservative benzyl alcohol, or no treatment. Further investigation is needed to build on the previous and current research to enhance a clinicians ability to provide individualized IVC preanesthetic treatment options.
