ANXIETY CHILDREN & PARENTS

Evaluation of a virtual reality headset in the prevention of peri-operative anxiety in children, SFAR 2019.

L. Marsac, et al.

Results: Children’s and parents’ anxiety was lower after the children’s immersion in Virtual Reality: 7[5-10] vs. 3[2-7] in children, p=0.001 and 7[2-10] vs. 3[2-6) in parents, p=0.01. No patients showed agitation at induction or in the PACU. The concomitant effect on parental anxiety is a major beneficial effect because of the strong connection between children’s and parents’ anxiety. N=15
