Establishing a plan to improve pediatric patient comfort during PIV insertions and blood specimen collection: a quality improvement effort
CONCLUSIONS: While standard comfort measures are a good first step in pain management during needle procedures, they are not sufficient for every pediatric patient. Nitrous, sedation, and the use of anxiolytics and analgesics can play an important role in reducing pain and anxiety during needle procedures and should be considered for patients not achieving adequate levels of comfort with standard comfort measures.PMID:38578933 | DOI:10.12968/bjon.2024.33.7.S36 (Source: British Journal of Nursing)
