Trial Outcomes & Findings for Needleless Jet Injected (J-Tip) Lidocaine in Children Undergoing Regional Anesthesia Prior to Knee Arthroscopy (NCT NCT02649322)

NCT ID: NCT02649322

Last Updated: 2020-05-05

Results Overview

Pain will be assessed via the Visual Analog Scale by the patient before administration of the nerve block. Patient will report on a scale of 0 to 10 what their perceived pain is. 0 is no pain with 10 being worst pain patient ever experienced.

Measure
Group A Lidocaine J-Tip
Participants in Group A will receive 0.25 mL of 1% plain lidocaine delivered by the J-tip injector at the regional block site prior to introduction of the needle for the nerve block procedure. J-Tip: After sterile preparation, the J-tip injector will be placed on the skin at the selected site of the regional block needle introduction. Firm pressure will be placed with the J-tip injector on the site for the chosen block, the safety ring slid down, the trigger pressed and the tip held firmly on the skin for three seconds. One quarter of a milliliter of one percent lidocaine will be injected with the characteristic "pop" and "hissing" sounds inherent to the J-tip injector.
Group B Lidocaine Syringe
Participants in Group B will receive 2 mL of 1% plain lidocaine injected by syringe and 25 gauge needle at the regional block site prior to introduction of the needle for the nerve block procedure. Syringe and 25 gauge needle: The same initial timeout and sterile prep procedure will be followed for the use of local syringe and 25 gauge needle injection of 1% lidocaine ninety seconds prior to introduction of the regional block needle.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During Baseline Assessment, Taking Approximately 20 Minutes, Before Nerve Block

Population: Comparison of the mean pain on visual analog scale

Pain will be assessed via the Visual Analog Scale by the patient before administration of the nerve block. Patient will report on a scale of 0 to 10 what their perceived pain is. 0 is no pain with 10 being worst pain patient ever experienced.
