A randomized, double‐blind comparison study of EMLA® and ELA‐Max® for topical anesthesia in children undergoing intravenous insertion

Abstract

Results from this study support the claim that a 30-min application of ELA-Max (with occlusion) is as effective as a 60-min application of EMLA (with occlusion) for producing topical anesthesia for i.v. insertion in children.
