Intervention: Vapocoolent
Buzzy Bee
Will have nurse put Buzzy Bee on arm before, and leave it on during IV insertion. Will then videotape patient and ask them and parent to fill out FACES form.
Intervention: Buzzy Bee
Placebo

Intervention: Placebo
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain Score Based on Wong-Baker Pain Scale During IV Placement With Buzzy Bee or Vapocoolent
Time Frame: post intervention
Wong- Baker Faces Pain Scale with scores: scale is 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 maximum pain. The changes in pain between the treatment groups were analyzed using chi square and one-way ANOVA for categorical and continuous variables respectively. Pre and post FACES pain scale-revised were reported as means and standard deviations
Perceived FACES Pain Score in Sensation of Pain During IV by Parent or Care-giver
Time Frame: post intervention
Faces Pain Scale revised with scores: scale is 0-10, with 0 being no pain and 10 maximum pain.
