PurposeIntravenous cannulation is a painful and stressful procedure. The objective of this study was to compare the analgesic efficacy of the eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA®) with that of the Valsalva maneuver in adult patients during i.v. cannulation.MethodsOne hundred ninety-five patients were randomized prospectively to three groups. The dorsum of the nondominant hand was covered with a thick paste of 2.5 g of EMLA® cream in the EMLA® group (group E) and left for a minimum of 30 min before venipuncture. In the control group (group C), the same procedure was applied except that Vaseline® was used instead of the EMLA®. The Valsalva group (group V) were punctured during a Valsalva maneuver. The patients were placed in the supine position during venipuncture. The patients then scored the amount of pain on cannulation using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS; 0 = no pain, 10 …
