The Effect of Lidocaine and Benzocaine on Pain and Injection Satisfaction in Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Application

Individuals who met the research criteria and signed the informed consent form were numbered according to the order in which they came to the hospital. Later, the numbered individuals were assigned to the study groups according to the randomization list created in the computer environment. Lidocaine Spray was applied 60 seconds before to the area where the peripheral intravenous catheter application of the patients in the Experiment I Group (Lidocaine Spray) will be performed. After waiting 60 seconds, peripheral intravenous catheter application was performed. The nurse responsible for data collection measured blood pressure, pulse rate and peripheral oxygen saturation values 5 minutes before and just after the application with a finger-type pulse oximeter. After performing peripheral intravenous catheterization, the pain level felt by the individual during the procedure and the injection satisfaction level values were taken and recorded on the Case Report Form by the nurse.

Individuals who met the research criteria and signed the informed consent form were numbered according to the order in which they came to the hospital. Later, the numbered individuals were assigned to the study groups according to the randomization list created in the computer environment. In patients in the placebo group, alcohol was sprayed 60 seconds before the area where the peripheral intravenous catheter will be applied. After waiting 60 seconds, peripheral intravenous catheter application was performed. The nurse responsible for data collection measured blood pressure, pulse rate and peripheral oxygen saturation values 5 minutes before and just after the application with a finger-type pulse oximeter.
