Currently, some medical providers administer the IV without any pain-relieving techniques. Some medical providers inject a numbing medication underneath the skin prior to the IV placement. This requires an additional needle stick. Some medical providers place a device called Buzzy® on a patient's arm prior to the IV placement. The Buzzy® device is the combination of an ice pack and a vibrator in the shape of a bumble bee. Literature shows that the Buzzy® device makes IV placement more comfortable for children, but there is minimal data in regard to whether it is helpful for adult patients. The investigators are conducting this study to compare the effectiveness of the Buzzy® device with that of the injection of numbing medication underneath the skin for IV placement in adults. This device has been FDA approved for use.
