BACKGROUND: Painful procedures are common in the @entity2613 setting and beyond. Although these procedures are often essential to @entity1 management, they can also be distressing for @entity1 , parents, and health providers. As such, it is imperative that effective @entity158 and @entity148 -minimizing strategies be used consistently in all settings where @entity158 procedures take place for @entity1 . OBJECTIVES: This review article aims to provide a summary of several strategies, which are supported by definitive and systematically reviewed evidence, that can be implemented alone or in combination to reduce procedural @entity158 and @entity148 for @entity1 in the @entity2613 and beyond. RESULTS: For neonates, breastfeeding, nonnutritive sucking, swaddling, and @entity969 administration have all been shown to decrease @entity158 during @entity158 interventions. For neonates, venipuncture is much less @entity158 than heel lance for blood draws. For @entity1 , there is some support for @entity969 use. For @entity1 and older @entity1 , there is strong evidence for distraction techniques. In addition, the use of fast-acting topical anesthetic creams as an alternative or adjunct to infiltrating anesthetic before laceration repair or vascular access/venipuncture is recommended. Further, buffering of @entity3303 can decrease @entity158 during injection. Lastly, if a laceration is amenable to the use of tissue adhesive, this should be preferentially used. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, there currently remains a knowledge-to-practice gap in the treatment of @entity1 's procedure-related @entity158 . This article has identified multiple age-specific methods to improve the treatment of procedural @entity158 . These simple interventions can improve the care provided to ill and injured @entity1 .
