Summary

The simplicity of the implementation and the effectiveness of hypno-analgesia (via the magic glove technique) has already been proven in some research work, during the installation of peripheral venous route. An unpublished preliminary study has shown that this method appears to be the most effective in preventing pain during pediatric propofol injection. The purpose is to compare the effectiveness of hypno-analgesia of the hand by the "magic glove technique" to lidocaine used in an extemporaneous mixture in the prevention of pain with injection of propofol during intravenous induction in children aged 7 to 14 years

Detailed description

Propofol is a hypnotic of choice, because of its speed of action, its dose-effect relationship (allowing titrated inductions), its anti-emetic effect, as well as its delay and its short duration of action. Among its side effects, the pain during its injection occupies a significant part in pediatrics (60% in adults, up to 85% in children). It is most often described as an unpleasant sensation, discomfort or even a burn at the point of puncture, going up along the path of the vein and can extend to the whole arm. The mechanism of this pain is still poorly understood at this time. Several mechanisms have been mentioned such as activation of the bradykinin cascade, a direct stimulation of the free nociceptive venous nerve endings.A meta-analysis concludes in adults that the two most effective techniques are a puncture site on the ulnar vein and a pretreatment of the vein by Lidocaine. In children, the anatomical differences, the notion of protection of the venous capital from the first vascular approach, whatever the prognosis of the patient and the competence of the operator will influence the choice of the material, the choice of the site and the puncture technique. Several pediatric studies have attempted to reduce this injection pain by other techniques. A panel of products has been tested with different drug orientations or not. The suggestion centered on analgesia of the hand is a powerful technique, adapted to acute pain. The pain sensation will thus be partially or completely replaced by a sensation of a different nature, thus attenuating the nociceptive process. This technique has not been studied during injection with propofol.
