[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 313465, member: 1963"] Yeah. The more adrenaline you have coursing through the system, the more the peripheral vascular system shuts down. That is why one's hands become cold and clammy when anxious or frightened. I haven't had the numbing injections for starting IVs, but my mother who has lousy circulation has because they really have to dig around for veins and due to her age and health issues, they have to go for the back of the hand. She said the lidocaine shot really helped a lot. Plus, the needle is thinner than a human hair and very short. She said she barely felt the local anesthetic at all beyond a sensation of cold and pressure. Neither she nor I have used the EMLA cream. I would like to see a seperate lab/procedure areas for children. I think having their own more 'homey' envronment combined with techs and nurses specially trained to deal with children, would make it a lot easier on everyone concerned. [/QUOTE]
