Where this comes from

Abstract

The wide variety of techniques now available to provide analgesia and sedation in children undergoing laceration repair include needle-free techniques of wound repair, alternative methods of local anaesthetic infiltration, and non-pharmacological interventions. Knowledge and use of these options will help the practitioner limit a child's distress.
