al demonstrated improved success for IV cannulation with topical
liposomal bupivacaine. Multiple other studies have shown at least
no difference in IV cannulation success rates with the use of topical
anesthetic.18-20 Baxter et al also showed overall improved success
with lumbar punctures when using topical anesthetics, likely due to
less patient movement.21 New delivery systems feature needleless
administration of lidocaine with a drastically shorter time of onset.
In addition to the benefit of onset time, these new delivery systems
also have been shown to have better analgesic effectiveness than a
commonly used topical solution.22

"It is prudent to develop a system
to improve coping and address pain
early in a child's hospital course for
any procedure they may have."
SUCROSE/BREASTFEEDING
Another simple yet effective strategy for pain management in
neonates and infants is administration of sucrose or breastfeeding.
The administration of sucrose in concentrations of 24% or 25%
have been found to decrease pain responses in neonates.23-25
There is debate as to whether this attenuation of pain response
is from nociceptive pathways26,27 or other mechanisms,28 but
observational assessments of pain response overall have been
positive for both sucrose and breastfeeding.28 Breastfeeding or
dipping a pacifier in expressed breast milk and swaddling and
holding the infant can sustain caregiver engagement and create
a familiar, supportive approach for infant and caregiver. These
interventions, however, are limited as most positive data is in
children under 1 year of age.
This bundle of five best practice components prior to, during, and
immediately after procedures is being rolled out sequentially at
our institution. Accountability, multidisciplinary core leadership,
house-wide training with an evidence-based framework, and use of
data and champions to promote nurse and physician engagement
are key factors for this effort.29,30 An often-overlooked component
to the success of paradigm change is the input of the patients
we care for. To address this, we have developed a family advisory
council composed of current and former families who are intimately
involved in program development. Input from our family advisory
council has helped us shape best practices to tailor them to our
specific families. At the Sala Institute for Child and Family Care,
our goal is to develop a resource and provide guidance across all
hospital services regarding effective procedural pain management.
We hope to develop a systematic and comprehensive approach that
will be integrated into all procedures and ultimately lead to better,
reliable, and consistent care for our youngest patients.
