Summary

This study looked at whether a 50% oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide (laughing gas) mixture can reduce pain and anxiety in children aged 1 to 16 during minor procedures like blood draws, catheter placement, or stitch removal. Researchers observed 100 children and measured pain using age-appropriate scales and cooperation levels. The goal was to see if the gas helps kids stay calm and comfortable without serious side effects.
