  schema:description "Children with cancer have many needles, lumbar punctures and bone marrow tests. An international guideline says every needle procedure should use numbing cream and distraction, and every child having a lumbar puncture should be offered deep sedation or a general anaesthetic. Sedation is given by a trained team with monitoring, after the child and family are prepared for what will happen."@en ;
