One method to ensure atraumatic care is through the use of topical analgesics before IV injections.Powdered lidocaine preparations are effective in reducing the pain and fear associated with invasive procedures,such as venipuncture.EMLA is useful only if applied 1 to 2.5 hours prior to IV insertion.Asking parents to restrain the child for a painful procedure can cause stress and anxiety for both the child and the parents.NG fluids are traumatic and are uncomfortable long past the insertion of the NG tube.
