A synthetical view of pediatrics, lidocaine, and procedural pain relief.
The clinical efficacy, interventional ease of use, workload implications, and cost-effectiveness of using needle-free lidocaine for procedural pain management were examined in the pediatric acute care setting. The data from the four studies evaluated indicate that needle-free lidocaine significantly reduces procedural pain and is a cost-effective alternative to the use of topical lidocaine.
