The Benefits of Pain Ease For Intravenous Cannulation

By: Kathleen Orellana | On: October 13, 2026

Featured

Peripheral intravenous (PIV) cannulation is one of the most common invasive procedures, providing direct access to the bloodstream for fluids, medications, blood products, and nutritional support. It’s also frequently used for blood draws.

Despite how routine it is, IV placement has a high failure rate, up to 35-50%, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The procedures can also be painful, particularly for patients with needle anxiety, which may cause them to move and reduce the chances of a successful first attempt. Providing the patient with a topical anesthetic, like Gebauer's Pain Ease® topical anesthetic skin refrigerant, can help ease discomfort and anxiety, making the process smoother for both patients and healthcare providers.

Poke Plan and Pediatric Comfort Measures: Does Your Hospital Have a Plan?

By: Kathleen Orellana | On: August 21, 2026

Often, children’s apprehension originates from a fear of bodily harm, their lack of control over the situation, and their lack of experience undergoing venipuncture.

Pediatric needle phobia and anxiety manifests as symptoms similar to a panic attack. A child may exhibit shortness of breath, trembling, increased heart rate, nausea, and even become hysterical. This turns what should be a routine procedure into a distressing experience. And if you and your team don’t take action to mitigate this fear, your patient could develop a life-long phobia.

Luckily, by developing a poke plan, you can reduce patients’ fears and help them become more accustomed to needle-based procedures.

Here’s what you need to know to get started:
