Area of Science:

  • Medical Technology
  • Pediatric Care
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Virtual reality (VR) technology has advanced, becoming more accessible and sophisticated.
  • VR is increasingly adopted in healthcare settings to improve patient experiences.
  • Its application in pediatric periprocedural care is a growing area of interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review evidence on the effectiveness of VR in pediatric periprocedural care.
  • To discuss considerations for implementing VR in clinical practice for children.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recently reported evidence.
  • Analysis of VR applications in preprocedure, intraprocedure, and rehabilitation settings.

Main Results:

  • VR introduces children to procedures, aids anesthesia induction, and increases cooperation.
  • VR reduces sedation and anesthesia requirements for minor procedures.
  • VR enhances pain management, leading to faster recovery and better outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • VR offers significant benefits for pediatric periprocedural care.
  • Clinicians should consider developing programs for VR access in pediatric settings.
  • Future research should identify optimal patient characteristics and VR content for best outcomes.
