Ill children at the hospital are often afraid of and frightened by needle shots, which causes their refusal of treatment. Prevention or reduction of injection pain may not only increase the ill children's cooperation but also decrease their unpleasant hospital experiences. This article xamines the impact of the application of pain ointments to intravenous injection sites for pain relief, based on relevant literature reviews. Among the five research articles from seven databases, one used the meta-analysis method, two were systematic reviews, and two involved randomized control trials. Muir Gray's level of evidence, Jadad score, and Critical Appraisal Programme (CASP) of the Public Health Resource Unit were used to examine the quality of these research articles. For application of local anesthetic ointments to intravenous injection sites, one must consider the analgesic effect of the ointment, the time of onset, the duration of action, and the side effects. Based on the principle of doing no harm and safe practice, the EMLA ointment was selected for clinical practice. Through clinical practice, it was confirmed that application of pain ointment to intravenous injection sites can lower the pain level at the injection site. |
