Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a needle-free jet-injection
system with 1% buffered lidocaine for local anesthesia for lumbar punctures compared to a
topical anesthetic agent. Our hypothesis is: A needle-free jet-injection system (J-Tip) with
1% lidocaine will provide local anesthesia that is comparable to that of a topical anesthetic
agent (EMLA cream) when performing lumbar punctures in children.
