Description
Anushta Paul and co-authors timed how long anesthetists should wait before placing an IV line in a child put to sleep by breathing gas. Children without a working line are often induced first, but poking too early risks movement and coughing. Their study enrolled 106 un-premedicated children aged one to ten. Each child's wait after the eyelash reflex vanished was set by an up-and-down scheme, stepping by seconds based on the previous child's response.
The wait that worked for half the children averaged about fifty-seven seconds. For ninety-five percent success, it rose to about seventy-four seconds. The team recommends a wait of eighty-two seconds to be safe. That small, precise pause, they argue, trades a moment of patience for a smooth, still cannulation in nearly every child.
