This program presents options to assess and reduce needle fear, pain, and vasovagal syncope with Ig therapy, including topical anesthetics, cognitive interventions, and Buzzy best practices.
After this program, the participant will be able to:
- Describe how differences in pharmacology and physiology influence analgesic choices for Ig procedures
- Cite literature contradicting common biases that impede pain control
- Learn which direction, where on the body, and how to use Buzzy for Ig, and situations where other options are preferable for pain relief.
