Anxiety Clinical Trial - Effect of Cartoons on Preoperative Anxiety in

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Preoperative Anxiety is a major problem in anesthesia management. Paediatric patients are a special group who need special attention. Some studies have shown that cartoons are a very good tool for distraction in the preoperative period for children.

Our hypothesis is that children watching Cartoons in the preoperative period will have less anxiety and will be fit with preparation.

Clinical Trial Description

After local ethics committee approval 60 patients scheduled for various types of surgery will be included.

On the operation day patients are going to be evaluated in the preoperative preparation room. For anxiety evaluation the modified yale preoperative anxiety scale will be used. After this first evaluation patients are going to be separated randomly into two groups; group R (routine) and group C (cartoon). All patients are going to be premedicated with midazolam. The first group will receive their premedication straight after the first evaluation and their response will be recorded as easy, moderate, difficult, does not accept. Group C will choose a cartoon movie (5 different movies are recorded and will be shown through a tablet PC)) and will begin to watch it. After 5 minutes they will receive their premedication and their response will also be recorded. After 30 minutes a physician will try to insert an IV line and the response of the child will also be evaluated and recorded as easy, moderate, difficult and does not allow. Afterwards the patient will be transported into the operation room. In the operation room anesthesia will be induced via Sevoflurane and the response to mask anesthesia will be evaluated with the mask score as it is described before in previous studies. Patients in Group C will continue to watch the cartoon movie until the induction of anesthesia. And the modified yale score will also be reevaluated and recorded.

The family anxiety will be evaluated with the State Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale.

The family and the child will also be interviewed separately, 4 prepared standard questions will be asked in order to understand how the family described the operation. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
