ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pediatric National Institute is a third level hospital that treats patients with complex pathologies that generate difficult venous access (DVA), which limits the phlebotomist to achieve a successful venipuncture. UltraTouch™ Push Button (UTPB) winged set allows pain reduction during venipuncture, maximize clinical safety and improves blood flow. Objective: Evaluate the efficiency of new devices to perform a successful venipuncture and reduce pain in pediatric patients with DVA. Material and methods: Venipuncture was performed in 100 patients with DVA. 50 patients were punctured with UTPB 23G and 50 patients with UTPB 25G. Results: 84% of patients had good experience during venipuncture with 23G compared to 60% of the patients punctured with 25G. There was a greater decrease in pain with 23G (82%) compared to 25G (70%). 88% of phlebotomists had good experience during venipuncture with UTPB 23G compared to 45% who said they had good experience with UTPB 25G. 100% of phlebotomists experienced greater ease to perform the venipuncture at the first attempt with 23G and said they felt more confident to not punctured accidentally. Conclusion: It's necessary to implement the use of new devices to improve venipuncture in pediatric patients with DVA reducing pain and distress.
