The results obtained in this study come from different nations. Results: the evidence found 70% (n=7/10) indicates that the effective local anesthetic to manage pain when taking arterial gases is the administration of subcutaneous or infiltrated lidocaine. Conclusions: 7 of 10 articles reviewed agree that the most effective local anesthetic for arterial blood gas sampling is the administration of subcutaneous lidocaine, due to its faster action and better access on the market in addition to the cost, 3 articles It indicates the use of another anesthetic such as ointments and patches, but its action takes time and is effective only in older adults.
