Randomized, Controlled Trial of Needleless Jet Injected (J-Tip) Lidocaine in Children Undergoing Regional Anesthesia Prior to Knee Arthroscopy.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating J-Tip and Syringe and 25 gauge needle for Knee Injury. Completed, enrolled 115 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Purpose of this study is to investigate the pain outcomes and satisfaction of pain relief for pediatric patients receiving needleless jet-injected (J-Tip) lidocaine prior to regional anesthesia with femoral and/or sciatic nerve block and general anesthesia for arthroscopic knee surgery compared to femoral nerve block and/or sciatic nerve block with needle injected lidocaine prior to regional and general anesthesia.

Timeline
Interventions
After sterile preparation, the J-tip injector will be placed on the skin at the selected site of the regional block needle introduction. Firm pressure will be placed with the J-tip injector on the site for the chosen block, the safety ring slid down, the trigger pressed and the tip held firmly on the skin for three seconds. One quarter of a milliliter of one percent lidocaine will be injected with the characteristic "pop" and "hissing" sounds inherent to the J-tip injector.
The same initial timeout and sterile prep procedure will be followed for the use of local syringe and 25 gauge needle injection of 1% lidocaine ninety seconds prior to introduction of the regional block needle.
