Effect of provider communication on perception of pain during intravenous cannulation: A double blinded randomized controlled trail
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Anaesthesiologists utilize communication skills in their day to day practice in order to reduce the pain perception of patients during invasive procedures like intravenous cannulation. Our study aimed to know the effect of three different types of communication provided by anaesthesiologists on perception of pain (primary outcome) and behavioural / visual discomfort (secondary outcome) during intravenous cannulation. Our study intended to study effect of communication on perception of pain during any invasive procedures. Methods: A double blind, randomized prospective clinical study was conducted on 300 patients who were posted electively for surgery. They were randomly allocated into three groups they were ST, NP and NU group. Each group received its respective communication in patient’s own language. Our primary and secondary outcome measures were measured with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score and Modified Behavioural Pain Rating Scale (MBPRS) score respectively. Results: VAS scores (p=0.549) were not normally distributed, most of the patients perceived as mild to moderate pain and none of them had severe pain. MBPRS scores were obtained for both local anaesthetic injection and intravenous cannulation separately which showed p value of 0.826 and 0.827 respectively. Conclusions: The intensity of pain perception and behavioural display of pain during intravenous cannulation is similar for patients irrespective of the type of communication.
