Bringing Patient Experience Closer to Home

The Introduction of Using Entonox in the Community for Children Facing Distressing and /or Painful Procedures
 
Summary
When children experience pain or discomfort, during nursing interventions, cause distress for all involved.  This may lead to fear, anxiety and potential long term problems. We sought to reduce these issues by introducing the use of 50% Nitrous Oxide 50% Oxygen (Entonox) when undertaking invasive nursing procedures in children in the community.  On investigation we found that this is not done by any other children’s community nursing team in the country.
