  2. The Problem… • Child’s Panic • Parent’s Panic • Staff’s Panic

  3. The Idea… • Can we make the ED PAIN FREE?

  4. Research • Studies have shown that pain in young children has lifelong psychological effects, and memories of pain can lead to delayed medical care for people in their later years (Madhok, 2011).

  5. Three Big Questions • Can medications be administered in a pain free way? • Are the non IV medications as effective as IV medications? • Does it affect our patient satisfaction scores?

  6. Medication Trials • LMX vs. IV without numbing cream • LET vs. sutures with injectable medications • Sutures with buffered vs. regular lidocaine • JTIP and Freeze spray • Intranasal Fentanyl

  7. Results • What do you think happened?

  8. Group Discussion • What has your hospital used? • Did it work? • What didn’t work? • What would you like to try in the future?

  9. Questions?
