Key organizations speak out.

The prevalence and the impact of pediatric pain from IV starts are clear.

In response, key organizations have established recommendations to reduce pain and anxiety. These include:

  • Institution-specific protocol development
  • Multimodal (pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic) and multidisciplinary approaches to pain and anxiety reduction
  • Family-centered care with individualized interventions
  • Leadership by those caring for children in achieving these goals
Key medical organizations are calling for local anesthetics and strategies to soothe and minimize distress.
