tetracaine and Erythema

tetracaine has been researched along with Erythema in 8 studies

Tetracaine: A potent local anesthetic of the ester type used for surface and spinal anesthesia.
tetracaine : A benzoate ester in which 4-N-butylbenzoic acid and 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol have combined to form the ester bond; a local ester anaesthetic (ester caine) used for surface and spinal anaesthesia.

Erythema: Redness of the skin produced by congestion of the capillaries. This condition may result from a variety of disease processes.

Trial Outcomes

Blinded Observer's Subjective Ratings of Participants' Pain Level at Tourniquet Placement, Using a 6-point NRS

The NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) is a 6-point rating scale where 0= no pain and 5 = worst pain. Blinded observers reported their own subjective evaluation of the level of pain experienced by the participants at tourniquet placement. Total number of participants subjectively evaluated as experiencing each pain level is reported. (NCT00530803)
Timeframe: before venipuncture

Blinded Observer's Subjective Ratings of the Participant's Pain Level at 5 Minutes Post Venipuncture Procedure, Using a 6-point NRS

The NRS (Numerical Rating Scale) is a 6-point rating scale where 0= no pain and 5 = worst pain. Blinded observers reported their own subjective evaluation of the level of pain participants were experiencing 5 minutes after the venipuncture was completed. Total number of participants subjectively evaluated as experiencing each pain level is reported. (NCT00530803)

Parent Rating of Child's Pain Using a 6-point NRS

The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a 6-point rating scale where 0= no pain and 5 = worst pain. Parents reported their own subjective evaluation of participants pain level. Each participant had only one parental assessment. Total number of parental assessment for each pain level on the 6-point NRS is reported as total number of participants experiencing that pain level.

Participants Self-rating of Pain Using the Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale.

"Participants were asked to report their level of pain using a 6-point Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale ranging from 0, no pain, to 5, the most pain you can have. The Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale is a validated tool for measuring pain in patients as young as 3 years old. A FACES pain score less than or equal to 2 is considered no pain to mild pain, and is clinically acceptable. Studies have shown average FACES pain scores for children receiving vascular access with placebo to be 2.2 to 3.5." (NCT00530803)
