Clinical Trial Summary

This study will compare the efficiency of the iPad distraction or the administration of Nitrous Oxide on the anxiety decrease when a peripheral venous catheter is needed in children between 3 and 9 years old.

Description:

The study is aiming at demonstrating the efficacy of active distraction by an iPad on the anxiety consequent to venipuncture and insertion of a peripheral vein catheter. The comparator is nitrous oxide in a 50% mixture with oxygen that is routinely used for sedation during procedural pain. However, nitrous oxide has secondary effects particularly on the inhibition of Vitamin B12. The primary outcome is anxiety scores. Secondary outcomes are pain scores and satisfaction of parents and health providers. All children will have EMLA cream (mixture prilocaine and lidocaine) applied one hour prior to venous punction. Anxiety, pain and satisfaction scores will be recorded at baseline and then within an hour following the venipuncture and insertion of the peripheral vein catheter.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Satisfaction score	Satisfaction of parents and care givers about the cares given to the child using a rating scale from 1(not satisfied at all) to 10 (extremely satisfied).	From time of venous puncture until 1 hour afterwards
Primary	Anxiety score	Anxiety level measured by a scale (modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale) measured at baseline, during the venous puncture and one hour afterwards. The scale scores from a minimum of 5 (no anxiety) to 22 (extremely anxious).	From one hour prior to venous puncture until 1 hour afterwards
Secondary	Pain score	Pain intensity level will be measured at baseline, during the venous puncture and one hour afterwards, by a scale (Visual analog scale), which includes a score of 0 (no Pain) to 10 (worse pain).	From one hour prior to venous puncture until 1 hour afterwards
