Abstract

Objectives: Explore the feasibility and initial effect of Lidocaine spray on relieving local pain caused by intravenous intubation among women before C-section. Methods: Participants were assigned randomly into Group 1 (intervention group) or Group 2 (control group). Participants in group 1 received 3 sprays of 10% Lidocaine before the intravenous intubation while participants in group 2 received 3 spays of sterile water. A 100mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to record the pain intensity directly after intravenous cannulation by the subjects. The recruitment rate, adverse events, and success rate of IV cannulation were also reported. Results: The trial was feasible. The results indicated that the spray 10% Lidocaine had clinical significance in reducing the pain caused by intravenous intubation among women before C-section. The VAS score in the intervention group was statistically lower than in the control group (p<0.01).
