2009, Journal of Clinical AnesthesiaCitation Excerpt :Eutectic mixture of local anesthetics with lidocaine and prilocaine (EMLA cream) is similarly effective in giving venipuncture pain relief in pediatric patients [6-8]. However, school-aged children would be aware of the needle and therefore show anxiety due to their expectation of pain associated with venipuncture [7,8]. Application of EMLA cream sometime induces vasoconstriction, which may result in difficulty in venous cannulation [8].
