Anyone use this for anaesthesia in children? I'm trying to persuade our pharmacy to stock some and would appreciate any feedback/evidence for its use.
Thanks
I canīt give you figures Fred, but topical anaesthesia would not help most of the children I currently suture (using sedation). Most of my work is with small toddlers, and they donīt understand the concept of local anaesthesia, so they go berserk when you go near them with needles and stuff!! In my opinion, topical anaesthesia would only have a useful role in the older child that you can reason with...
