Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether intranasal fentanyl is better than placebo at decreasing pain in children 4-8 years of age during urinary catheterization for a VCUG study
Detailed Description: Studies have shown that the voiding cystourethrogram VCUG can be distressful and painful for children as the child is catheterized during the procedure Currently no sedation or analgesia is recommended for the procedure The practice of pediatrics is constantly seeking measures to decrease pain and distress for children The opioid fentanyl was originally synthesized in the 1950s and 60s as an alternative to morphine and meperidine The safety and efficacy of intranasal IN fentanyl has been previously demonstrated in the setting of a pediatric emergency department

We are proposing the use of IN fentanyl for analgesia prior to the catheterization for a voiding cystourethrogram VCUG If we prove that IN fentanyl is effective in reducing the pain while ensuring patient safety it could become the analgesic of choice for this procedure
