Overview

Assessment of ultrasound-guided FNA reduces pain in thyroid procedures, suggesting effective techniques for patient comfort.

Key Points

  • FNA is a well-tolerated procedure for thyroid nodules but can cause pain, especially with multiple punctures.
  • Using smaller gauge needles (22 to 27 G) minimizes pain and reduces blood contamination during FNA procedures.
  • Infiltration with a mixture of xylocaine and bicarbonate significantly enhances patient comfort during thyroid biopsies.
  • Feedback indicates improved patient experiences since employing specific pain-minimizing techniques in our hospital.
