New amiesfteUDe ©if ©uft sotelhes pain ' By MICHELLE SCHNEIDER Standard-Examine- siaff r Play time turned into painful time for Micheal Thompson when he fell on the monkey bars and split his chin But thanks to a new anesthetic called TAC Micheal’s visit to the emergency room at St Benedict’s Hospital didn’t cause the youngster any more pain The gash on Micheal’s chin required stitches and stitches usually require a shot to numb the area But TAC is applied to the skin rather than being injected No shot no pain “I was really worried about the shot” said Micheal’s mother Rhonda Thompson “I have an older son who had stitches and he had to have a shot He just cried the whole time they were putting the stitches in” Micheal’s trip to the emergency room was quite different “He just sat there and laughed and teased the doctor the whole time he was' stitching him up” - Mrs Thompson “When the doctor got to the fourth stitch he said ‘Ouch!’ and the doctor asked him if that hurt He just giggled — he was teasing” Kids aren’t the only ones who like the new anesthetic Nurses and doctors like it because they don’t have to hurt the youngsters by giving them a shot “It’s really neat especially with little kids” said Ariel Sheppard assistant manager of St Bene- dict’s emergency room “They’re already anxious and frightened because they’re in the emergency room and if you inject them with a shot and hurt them you’ve lost their trust” With TAC she said the whole experience is more positive and children are less likely to develop a fear of doctors “I don’t think my son’s going to be afraid to go to the doctor anymore” agreed Mrs Thomspon The anesthetic contains three drugs — tetracaine adrenalin and a very small amount of cocaine Davis launches United Way drive Ogden "1 V Standard-Examine- v The combination' of these three drugs somehow makes the skin more permeable and able to absorb the anesthetic Ms Sheppard said TAC isn’t used on body extremities such as fingertips toes or earlobes because the anesthetic cuts off part of the blood supply to the area she said These parts of the body can’t afford to have limited blood supply Ms Sheppard said The anesthetic is a clear liquid that is applied with a cotton ball or piece of gauze It takes about 10 minutes before the area is numb enough to stitch up a cut “We usually have the parent hold it on the area because it makes the child more comfortable” Ms Sheppard said The new anesthetic has made the ER’s staff a little more pleasant she said “It’s so nice to say ‘I’m not going to hurt you’ and really mean current annual rate effective annual yield A $2500 Money Market Certificate opened today at State Savings would earn 1282 five-yea- r effective annual yield with a current annual rate of 1225 r A State Savings $2500 Certificate would earn an effective annual yield of 1228 with a current annual rate of 1175 This Land This State This Utah it” one-yea- ©Ml SI© Utah Headquarters Main Office Salt Lake Coy 125 South Main Salt Lake City 490 East 500 South 48 Murray Cenurvihe Orlm ClEAKHElD University Mall Payson "5 South State Street (BQ B 201 East 100 South North 323 Pages Lane Odd i 2180 Washington Blvd Lot an 610 North Main Call Us Today and long term Certificate!
