Resumen
Introducción y Objetivos: BUZZY es un dispositivo que produce frío y vibración sobre la piel del paciente considerándose un método de analgesia no farmacológica. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar si BUZZY constituye un método analgésico eficaz para un procedimiento invasivo muy común en la práctica hospitalaria pediátrica como es la venopunción.
Pacientes y métodos: Se diseñó un ensayo clínico aleatorizado prospectivo de casos y controles, incluyendo niños entre 3 y 14 años que acudían a Urgencias de Pediatría (UPED) de un hospital de tercer nivel y que requerían venopunción.
Resultados: Se incluyeron 61 pacientes, grupo BUZZY (n=30) y grupo no BUZZY (n=31). El 59% eran varones. La edad media fue de 8,49 (desviación estándar 3,5) años. Se encontró una reducción significativa del dolor en el grupo BUZZY (p=0,038). No se encontraron diferencias entre la ansiedad previa, satisfacción ni tiempo empleado en la venopunción. Se observó una reducción del dolor en grupo BUZZY al compararlo con venopunciones previas sin BUZZY (p=0,001).
Conclusiones: El uso del BUZZY constituyó un método analgésico eficaz en las venopunciones pediátricas.
