Intravenous Catheterization Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial of Virtual Reality vs Standard-of-Care for Comfort During Intravenous Catheterization
Children often need an intravenous catheter placement for delivery of fluids and medications,
a procedure associated with pain and anxiety. In the Emergency Department topical anesthetics
are frequently used.
Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive experience using sight, sound, and position sense. Using
VR may enhance distraction during the painful procedure and may reduce attention to pain.
This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard
of care in addition to topical anaesthetics during IV placement procedure. Investigators will
measure pain, anxiety and satisfaction, amount of analgesics used and the level of success in
placing the IV and compare between the two groups.
