Modelling nurses' use of local anaesthesia for intravenous cannulation and arterial blood gas sampling: A cross-sectional study.

Background: Needle insertions are painful, yet they are frequently performed for adults and children without using local anaesthetic (LA) to minimise pain and anxiety.

Objectives: A hypothetical model was formulated to explore the factors related to Saudi nurses' self-reported readiness to use LA prior to undertaking parenteral procedures in their workplaces.

Design: This was an exploratory, cross-sectional study.

Factors Influencing Nurses' Use of Local Anesthetics for Venous and Arterial Access.

The use of local anesthetics to relieve pain associated with intravenous cannulation and arterial blood gas sampling is given low priority in many health institutions. This review sought to identify factors influencing nurses' use of local anesthetics for these procedures. The Database Syntax Guide for Systematic Reviewers was used; health-relevant studies were critically assessed with appropriate Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tools.
