VR is effective
In children and adolescents
For pain as well as anxiety
In a wide range of medical procedures
Limited focus on VR exposure (preparation) (n=1)
CONCLUSION
PREVIEW
STUDY
AIMPsychological preparation (Exposure) of children undergoing day-care surgery: effects on anxiety and pain
DESIGN- Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT)- 200 children (4-12 yrs)- Elective day care surgery- Virtual Reality (VR) vs Care as Usual (CAU)- Single-blind
- Primary outcome: anxiety during induction- Secondary outcomes: pain, analgesia
VR promising for painful surgeryVirtual Reality exposure before elective day care

MORPHINE
VRCAU
adenoidectomy/tonsillectomy
RESULTS Half as many children needed morphine after VR
Clinical significance:
- Side effects (nausea, vomiting, and dizziness)
- Longer hospital stay
- Increased health care costs
VR promising for painful surgery
RESULTS No differences in pain
- Only one postoperative assessment
- Not standardized in time
- Morphine had been administered before pain assessment
Pain measured more standardizedand more often
SMARTPHONE VR APPLICATION
Advantages
- Easily accessible to all children
- At own pace and as often as needed
- Longer in advance, AT HOME
- No personnel needed
AIM 1
MORE PAINFUL SURGERY
SCOLIOSIS SURGERY
Advantages
- Even more benefit from VR
- Reduced pain
- Reduced need for morphine
- Shorter hospital stay
- Reduced health care costs
AIM 2
PAIN MEASURES
STANDARDIZED AND MORE OFTEN
Advantages
- More insight in effect of VR on pain
- Pain assessed before morphineadministration

Anesthesia Protocol
First, anaesthetic preparation took place (i.e. placement of the electrocardiography electrodes, pulse oximeter, and blood pressure cuff).
Induction of anaesthesia was performed intravenously (IV) or by inhalation induction, if IV placement was not preferred or IV access was not successful.
For IV induction, a peripheral intravenous catheter was placed on the back of the hand, and propofol (2-4 mg kg-1 IV) and fentanyl (1-2 mcg kg-1 IV) were administered.
For inhalation induction, sevoflurane in a mixture of oxygen and air was administered by mask.
In these cases, IV placement took place after induction, after which fentanyl (1-2 mcg kg-1 IV) was administered.
Depending on the surgical procedure, a laryngeal mask (LMA) or an endotracheal tube (ETT) was placed.
In case of ETT placement, the child received a muscle relaxant beforehand.
Anaesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane (0.7-1.0 MAC) in O2/air.
During surgery, fentanyl (IV) was administered on discretion of the anaesthesiologist.
At the end of the procedure, first doses of IV paracetamol 20 mg kg-1 and diclofenac 1mg mg kg-1 were administered.
