The aim of this study is to determine whether a software virtual reality (VR) program provided during transportation to anesthesia induction reduces anxiety before the procedure, and compliance in pediatric patients. This study aims to measure the anxiety of patients as they arrive before their procedure, when parting from their parents for transportation to the procedure room, and when anesthesia is provided. Compliance during anesthesia induction will also be monitored. Participants will be randomly placed into to one of two groups. Group 1 will receive standard care from a Certified Child Life Specialist prior to their surgery. Group 2 will receive standard care from a Certified Child Life Specialist and distraction with a novel virtual reality software program.
The aim of this study is to determine whether a novel software virtual reality (VR) program provided during transition from periop to the procedure room and anesthesia induction reduces preoperative anxiety, and induction compliance in pediatric patients. This study aims to specifically monitor and measure the anxiety of patients as they arrive at the preoperative suite, when parting from their parents for transportation to the procedure room, and at induction of anesthesia. Compliance during anesthesia induction will also be monitored. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups. Group 1 will receive standard care during their surgery. Group 2 will receive standard care and distraction with a novel virtual reality software program. We hypothesize that anxiety will be reduced, and anesthesia compliance will improve for participants in Group 2.

| Standard Child Life Preparation and Support + Meta Quest 2 VR headset with Gurney Journey (a mixed reality experience) | Device | Certified Child Life Specialist's will provide preparation and support for patients before and during their anesthesia induction for their dental or gastrointestinal procedure. Child life specialist's will utilize Gurney Journey as part of their support for induction. Gurney Journey is a mixed reality experience, using the Meta Quest 2 VR headset that was designed to mitigate patient anxiety during transport from pre-admission rooms to the procedure room/operating room for surgical procedures. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale | Observational scale used to measure patient anxiety at different time points. Higher scores mean the patient is displaying more anxiety. Scores range from 23.33 to 100. | Perioperative, transport to operating room, in operating room |
| Induction Compliance Checklist | Used to measure and observe a patient's compliance with anesthesia induction. It uses a checklist of 10 items that correspond to negative behaviors that are frequently observed at such time, scoring 1 point for each measure on the checklist. The score is obtained by summing the scores for all the items (10 points maximum). Perfect anesthetic induction (with no negative behaviors) scores 0 points, suboptimal induction is scored between 1 and 4 and a score above 4 is considered as poor induction. | In operating room at induction |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The Pediatric Behavioral Induction Assessment | Measure completed by anesthesiologist's in the procedure room to describe patients' behavior during induction of anesthesia. | After induction |
