Procedural pain and sedation for children with cancer: needles, lumbar punctures and marrow tests 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. | Childhood cancers, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia | none | protocol, paediatric, procedural-pain |
