Needle-Free Lidocaine Injection vs Traditional Local Anesthesia in Infant Lumbar Puncture
Sponsor: University of Oklahoma
Summary
We hypothesize that the J-Tip needle-free jet-injection system offers comparable pain control and greater provider satisfaction due to its less invasive nature compared to traditional needle infiltration of 1% lidocaine in infants undergoing lumbar punctures. Our aim is to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of different local anesthetic techniques in the ED setting by comparing traditional lidocaine needle infiltration with J-tip.

Interventions
Needle-Free Jet Injection of 1 % lidocaine
The needle-free jet injection device delivers 1% lidocaine through high-pressure fluid without the use of a needle. This method aims to reduce the pain associated with needle-based anesthesia during infant lumbar punctures.
traditional needle infiltration of 1% lidocaine
Traditional needle infiltration involves injecting 1% lidocaine with a needle to provide local anesthesia before an infant lumbar puncture. This method is the standard practice for pain management in such procedures.
