Before the procedure, ensure your child is well-rested and hydrated (unless instructed otherwise). Carry a favorite toy or comfort item, and use distraction with rhymes or videos. Stay calm, as children often sense parental anxiety.
Ask the radiology team if a topical anesthetic gel for catheter insertion is available. Most children cry during catheterization, but the procedure is brief and does not cause long-term harm.
