Options for putting in an IV?

Post Reply New Topic

I need to know some things that a hospital should do. Like, in terms of those with very severe disabilities where they can't communicate. I wanted to include this as a thing in my story to show people the struggle for those with any kind of disability with a fear of needles/IVs like my severely disabled main character. :c Does anyone have any ideas?

I posted it here because it's not really directed towards her autism per se, but more the combination of her disabilities.

Edit: I did find this; "While pain control is not often used during the placement of IVs, it may be appropriate for children with ASD. There are multiple options to consider, including aerosol or injectable numbing medication and forms of oral medication that can treat anxiety and pain." The only problem is, I've spoke with hospitals regarding oral medications for such cases, and they say they are unable to provide it. They have to give you another needle to calm you down before they can give you the IV itself. :/

Lidocaine cream numbs the skin. You can also use this device called a "buzzy" that numbs the skin without the use of drugs.

I thought of buzzy... until I found it only helps mild cases of needle phobias. :c

Lay down for all needle injections, ask that the nurse or doctor use the smallest gauge needle possible, use buzzy, look away, and distract yourself. Use all of these techniques together rather than relying on just one option.

Lidocaine completely numbs the skin, you can always get a script for that before hand as long as you use a high enough concentration. OTC lidocaine here is only 0.5% and is too weak.
