Bringing a child to hospital is very traumatic for parents as well as the child and this multiplies manifold if lab tests need to be performed. All children are very afraid of needles. Thus, we have tried to make small changes in our laboratory practices to make this experience less painful. These are as follows
- A friendly laboratory sampling room with toys, balloons and candies
- Nurses and technicians who take the samples are specially trained and counseled.
- Microtainers [very small volume sample collection tubes] are used: instead of the standard 5 ml of blood collected for most tests in all laboratories, we take only 1ml – the equivalent of 10-15 drops of blood sample from children and babies
- PRILOX cream – a surface anesthetic which numbs the skin area where the blood test is to be performed prior to sample collection. This virtually prevents / minimizes any pain during the procedure.
