    IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to assess differences in observed pain-related behaviors during cannulation between a device combining cold and vibration (Buzzy) and the standard care (EMLA patch).MethodsPatients 18 months to 6 years old, requiring venous access in a pediatric emergency department, received either the Buzzy device or the EMLA patch. Predefined week randomization ensured equal allocation to the 2 intervention groups. Pain during cannulation was measured using the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale. Parent and nurse reports, cannulation success, and venous access times were also assessed.ResultsIn total, 607 included patients were randomized into the Buzzy group (n = 302) or the EMLA group (n = 305). Observed pain-related behaviors scores, parent-assessed pain scores, and nurse-reported pain ratings were higher with Buzzy.ConclusionsPain relief by a combination of cold and vibration during cannulation is not as effective as the standard-care method in children 18 months to 6 years old.Copyright © 2019 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
