The effect of vapocoolant spray on pain due to intravenous cannulation in children: a randomized controlled trial. Canadian Medical Association Journal, July 1, 2008; 179 (1), pp 31-6. Clinician Testimonial “I have over 23 years of clinical experience in Medical-Surgical and Critical Care Nursing and have started thousands of IVs over the years and absolutely love this product. Being hospitalized for any type of procedure is anxiety provoking. After telling a patient that I will be starting an IV, I tell them I will be using a topical numbing spray that will minimize their discomfort. They immediately seem less anxious. After using Pain Ease and starting the IV, many patients say, ‘I wish they had that product around years ago!’ or ‘I wish they would use that in other places.’ Easing a patient’s pain for something as simple as an IV start clearly eases their anxiety. Pain Ease stops the anxiety-pain cycle even before it starts and starts their surgical experience on a positive note. I see the beneficial results and I hear the positive comments!” Roxanne Toomey, RN HealthAlliance Hospital Leominster Campus Leominster, MA

Ethyl chloride and venepuncture pain: a comparison with intradermal lidocaine. Can J Anaesth. 1990 Sep; 37(6): 656-8. “Following application of the local anesthetic, there was a difference in venous visibility between groups; the ethyl chloride spray having no effect whilst the intradermal lidocaine impaired it. Ethyl chloride had no effect on the ease of insertion of the cannula whilst intradermal lidocaine increased the cannulation difficulty...” Armstrong P, Young C, McKeown D.
