Abstract

Peripheral venous cannulation is a routine and mandatory procedure for hydration and intravenous drug administration of anaesthesia drugs in perioperative period. Present study was aimed to compare the effectiveness of EMLA cream and Lidocaine patch on peripheral intravenous cannulation pain in patients posted for elective surgeries. Present study was single‐center, comparative study, conducted in Patients age group between 18‐60 years, Both male and female patient. ASA grade I and II. On the day of elective surgery place patient into 2 groups as Group A (EMLA cream) and Group B (Lidocaine patch). Significant difference was seen in pain score just after cannulation, at 1 minute after cannulation between group A and B. (p value <.05) Mean±SD of pain score just after cannulation, at 1 minute after cannulation in group B was 2.38±0.66, 1.98±0.53 respectively which was significantly higher as compared to group A (1.59±0.57(p value<.0001), 1.18±0.38(p value<.0001)) respectively. Significant difference was seen in pain score by Visual Analogue Scale just after cannulation, at 1 minute after cannulation between group A and B. (p value<.05). Mean±SD of decrease in pain score by Visual Analogue Scale in group A was 0.79±0.69 which was significantly higher as compared to group B (0.29±0.46). (p value <.0001) Mean±SD of decrease in pain score by Verbal Rating Scale in group B was 0.95±1.02 which was significantly higher as compared to group A (0.61±0.75). (p value=0.018) EMLA cream is found to be more effective than lidocaine patch to reduce pain during peripheral cannulation for intravenous access.
