Plan a comfort bundle for an infant cannulation — OSCE

Candidate brief

You have this station to assess a 6-month-old infant before a venepuncture and cannulation, choose and time the topical anaesthetic, plan the multi-modal comfort bundle, and counsel the anxious parent. Treat this as a calm, planned procedure with time to prepare, and explain each layer of the bundle to the mother in plain language. State explicitly how you would dose and time oral sucrose if breastfeeding is not used, and how you would position the child. ^{[1] [9]}
