One is a back-up in case he doesn't like the way one of them feels so he has another site ready to go. He uses ice packs over the four sites for the last 15-20 minutes over the EMLA before starting the infusion. Tate feels the combination of ice and EMLA is helpful to him. He does his own sticks and is very analytical about his approach. Don't know if it will help in your case, but it does for him. > > > Â > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
