Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to determine if local application of heat increases the probability of insertion of peripheral venous catheter at the first attempt, reduces the time needed to obtain cannulation and maintains the analgesic effect of Emla in children undergoing peripheral venous cannulation and previously treated with local analgesia with Emla.

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Emla + no additional intervention

Children in this arm will receive standard preparation of the venipuncture site (local analgesia with Emla) without warming

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Emla + Local Warming

Children in this arm will receive standard preparation of the venipuncture site (local analgesia with Emla) plus warming with a heating pad at 40°C for 5 minutes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Emla + Local Warming

Intervention Type OTHER

In this arm Emla is applied 60 minutes before the procedure and then the site of venepuncture is warmed by an electric heating sand pad at the temperature of 40°C for 5 minutes before performing cannulation
