Ethyl chloride is a cheap option among several options available to prevent pain in venipuncture. However, its use is controversial. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of five topical analgesics in children. The results showed that all topical analgesics were effective (p <0.001) to prevent pain.
