IO infusions hurt. Even with lidocaine, data show mixed results on how much it helps.

💉 Insertion pain averages 3–4/10.
🔥 Flush pain often jumps to 6–8/10 — especially tibial IOs.
💊 Humeral sites + lidocaine show lower scores and fewer repeat doses.

If you use lidocaine, go preservative-free:
40 mg over 2 min → 10 mL saline flush → 20 mg over 30 s.

Takes little time, may help, and doesn’t hurt your patient.
