Nitrous Oxide for Analgesia During Nasogastric Tube Placement in Young Children
Sponsor: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Summary
Since nitrous oxide/oxygen mixture is effective to reduce pain and anxiety induced by various painful procedures in children, the investigators hypothesized that its inhalation would reduce pain during nasogastric tube placement in young children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of 50%/50% nitrous/oxide mixture in reducing pain induced by nasogastric tube insertion in children aged 3 months to 3 years in the pediatric emergency department.
