Effect of site selection on pain of intravenous cannula insertion: A prospective randomised study

Abstract: Background and Aim:Pain on intravenous (IV) cannulation continues to cause considerable anxiety among the patients visiting the hospital for elective surgery. Often, it is the only unpleasant experience, especially in ambulatory surgical settings. Although, anecdotal evidence suggests that antecubital fossa (ACF) might be less painful site for venous cannulation, no scientific study exists to validate the same.Methods:In this prospective randomised study, effect of site selection on pain of venous cannulation … Show more

“…Peripheral venous cannulation, a routine clinical preoperative procedure, is sometimes considered painful . In our previous study, the median level of pain intensity resulting from venous cannulation on the hand was found to be close to our proposed cut‐off level of the VCP test (2.0 VAS units) .…”

“…Repeated attempts result in more pain . The region of cannulation also influences the pain intensity induced; for example, the antecubital fossa is associated with less pain than is the back of the hand . Nevertheless, many operators do not routinely offer pain relief because of time loss, considered lack of indication, belief that it makes the procedure more difficult, or peer pressure not to …”

“…The antecubital area and back of the hand are mostly preferred for the PIC. Because the antecubital vein, which is more commonly used F I G U R E 1 Flow diagram in the PIC applications, has been reported to be less painful than the veins in the back of the hand in the literature, the PICs were all applied to the antecubital vein in the left arm (Goudra, Galvin, Singh, & Lions, 2014). An autoguard shielded PEU-Vialon (BD-Venflon, Becton Dickinson) was used to start the PIC.…”

“…The peripheral venous catheter is the common and essential intravenous (IV) device, frequently used in medical practices (Bijayalaxmi, Urmila, & Prasad, 2010;Webster, Osborne, Rickard, & New, 2015). Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIC) is an invasive procedure performed in hospitalized patients (Goudra, Galvin, Singh, & Lions, 2014;Urbanetto Jde, Peixoto, & May, 2016;Webster et al, 2008), where the patient's skin is punctured with a needle to allow insertion of a temporary plastic tube into a vein.…”
