Table 2.

FLACC Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability Scale. Each of the five categories (F) Face, (L) Legs, (A) Activity, (C) Cry, and (C) Consolability is scored from 0 to 2, which results in a total score between 0 and 10. 0 = Relaxed and comfortable; 1–3 = mild discomfort; 4–6 = moderate pain; and 7–10 = severe pain or discomfort or both. In our study, the category Face will not be used since the patient’s face is not visible in the video
