Patient satisfaction during the administration of local anesthesia using a computer controlled local anesthetic delivery system.
Patients undergoing a surgical procedure first must be properly anesthetized prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort. The effectiveness of a Computer Controlled Local Anesthetic Delivery System (CCLADS) known as the "wand," was evaluated. Patient anxiety and pain associated with the injection of anesthesia both decreased using this method.
