Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of topical lidocaine and benzocaine in reducing pain and improving injection satisfaction during AVF catheterization among hemodialysis patients.
Design:A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 60 hemodialysis patients who met the inclusion criteria.
Methods: Participants were randomly assigned into three groups: Lidocaine Spray (n=20), Benzocaine Spray (n=20), and Placebo (n=20). Pain intensity and injection satisfaction were measured immediately after catheterization using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Injection Satisfaction Scale (ISS).
