Spray Away Pain and Fear When Suturing in Kids
June 30, 2010
Children with lacerations that require suturing are typically afraid and uncooperative. The pain of a local lidocaine(Drug information on lidocaine) injection will increase their fear and lack of cooperation. For nonfacial lacerations, I find that spraying the area with ethyl chloride(Drug information on ethyl chloride) just before injecting the lidocaine reduces the pain and thus eases fears. Suturing is then much easier. |
