- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of EMLA cream and vapocoolant spray for reducing pain during intravenous cannulation in 140 patients.
- Results indicated that the vapocoolant spray significantly reduced pain scores and was more cost-effective than EMLA cream, with noticeable differences in heart rate and movement during the procedure but no other hemodynamic changes.
- The conclusion suggested that vapocoolant spray is a more efficient option, particularly in emergency situations, compared to EMLA cream for IV cannulation.
