Yes, we use Sweet-Ease (sucrose) in ICN for the same reason (calming effect) with PICC insertion. They claim it works. Toshi Holland Vascular Access Coordinator Children's Hospital Oakland, CA

She was calm, but also sick so we weren't sure which was the reason. The MD claimed this is a fairly common thing now. Any of you using this? Thanks!
