Pain and Anxiety During Local Block

University of Seville264 enrolled

Overview

INTRODUCTION: Currently, there is no scientific evidence about pain in the anesthetic blockage of the first finger according to the application method. However, clinical evidence has valued the use of carpule, due to the low pain it generates in the patient to the application of anesthetic. Most studies on anesthesia and pain, especially with the use of carpule and distracting methods, belong to the field of dentistry. OBJECTIVES: It is intended to determine the pain after an anesthetic block in H of Frost in the first finger with different application methods, such as syringe and carpule. As secondary objectives, it is intended to establish the difference in pain according to the sex and age of the patients. METHODOLOGY: Experimental, transverse and random clinical trial type analytical study, in which a sample of 200 individuals will be selected, 100 per group, which would require digital anesthesia of the first finger and that would fulfill the inclusion criteria. Result: after the completion of the study CONCLUSIONS: After the completion of the study

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Grade of Pain postinyection

Analyze the pain using the VAS scale (Visual Analog Scale) caused during the anesthetic process. The lowest score on this scale is 0 (no pain) and the highest is 10 (maximum bearable pain).

Time frame: Immediately after the intervention

Secondary Outcomes

Anxiety before the intervention

Compare the degree of anxiety of patients undergoing the anesthetic procedure using syringe vs carpule.

Time frame: Immediately before the intervention, since it is a scale that scores from 1 to 3 the degree of anxiety of the patient prior to the surgical intervention.
