Abstrakt: Objectives: We compared the addition of iPad distraction to standard care, versus standard care alone, to manage the pain and distress of intravenous (IV) cannulation.
Methods: Eighty-five children aged 6 to 11 years requiring IV cannulation (without child life services present) were recruited for a randomized controlled trial from a paediatric emergency department. Primary outcomes were self-reported pain (Faces Pain Scale-Revised [FPS-R]) and distress (Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress-Revised [OSBD-R]), analyzed with two-sample t-tests, Mann-Whitney U-tests, and regression analysis.
Results: Forty-two children received iPad distraction and 43 standard care; forty (95%) and 35 (81%) received topical anesthesia, respectively (P=0.09). There was no significant difference in procedural pain using an iPad (median [interquartile range]: 2.0 [0.0, 6.0]) in addition to standard care (2.0 [2.0, 6.0]) (P=0.35). There was no significant change from baseline behavioural distress using an iPad (mean ± SD: 0.53 ± 1.19) in addition to standard care (0.43 ± 1.56) (P=0.44). Less total behavioural distress was associated with having prior emergency department visits (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: -1.90 [-3.37, -0.43]) or being discharged home (-1.78 [-3.04, -0.52]); prior hospitalization was associated with greater distress (1.29 [0.09, 2.49]). Significantly more parents wished to have the same approach in the future in the iPad arm (41 of 41, 100%) compared to standard care (36 of 42, 86%) (P=0.03).
Conclusions: iPad distraction during IV cannulation in school-aged children was not associated with less pain or distress than standard care alone. The effects of iPad distraction may have been blunted by topical anesthetic cream usage.
