Just thought I would give another update:
Buzzy seems to be gaining in popularity i've heard from our Drs that they have seen Buzzy in use in other hospitals on their rotations, also and we are getting patients in with conditions like juvinile arthritis and diabetes that have there own home health care buzzy and bring it in for appointments where theyknow a sharp will be happening.
playstaff have helped clinical staff become familarized with Buzzy by doing demo's and awareness boards.
I have noticed buzzy works best on reducing a childs fear significantly enough that children who are very anxious and refusing cannula's or bloods are willing to have them done with Buzzy we tend to use magic cream and of course distraction therapy at the same time this brings the best results.
some children are not keen on having buzzy attachede to their arm or on having the ice wings and instead just simply hold it in their hand during the cannulation.
I would be intrested to see if anyone has any expiernce with Buzzy since I last posted.
