S2E45 - Evidence Based Childhood Vaccine Pain Relief
Welcome to Season 2 of AMC Clinical Deep Dive!
Injections are the leading cause of iatrogenic pain in children, but NHMRC Level 1 evidence-based strategies can transform your OSCE performance. This episode breaks down essential protocols: why you must skip aspiration to reduce distress, the benefits of simultaneous injections for infants, and why the most painful vaccines (MMR and PCV) must always be administered last. We explore physical "comfort" positions like skin-to-skin contact and psychological distractors like blowing bubbles. Master these clinical techniques to demonstrate high-level safety and compassionate Australian practice!

S1E75 - Immunisation Advice for New Parents
Pro Tip: In your OSCE,, explicitly state that you will inject the most painful vaccines (M-M-R®II or PCV) last. This specific detail—combined with a strong recommendation against aspiration because injection sites lack major blood vessels—shows the examiner you have mastered the NHMRC Level 1 evidence for procedural safety and clinical reasoning!
🎧 Episodes in Season 1 (150 clinical scenarios) have been indexed by topic, patient group, discipline, setting, and more to support targeted learning. Use the filters to locate discussions relevant to your study or clinical training.
