Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the use of virtual reality (VR) as an adjunct or alternative to pharmacologic sedation in pediatric patients undergoing renal biopsy.


Description:

Children aged 5-17 scheduled for renal biopsy will be offered the option to use a virtual reality (VR) headset that displays an interactive game as part of their renal biopsy experience. The standard of care of sedation medications will still be available to patients who are unable to complete the procedure with only the VR headset without pharmacologic sedation. Pain and anxiety will be monitored continuously using validated scales by a pediatric hospitalist and sedation nurse. These providers, as well as patients and parents, may ask for additional medications for adequate analgesia and anxiolysis.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Acceptability of VR to Patients/Families Acceptability of VR as non-pharmacologic sedation based on a team-made Likert scale survey given to patients, parents, and providers (Likert scale, with 1 = "strongly disagree" as most dissatisfied with VR experience and 5 = "strongly agree" as most satisfied with VR experience and a better perceived outcome From arrival to procedural room to completion of procedure (~30 minutes)
Secondary Pre- and Post-Procedural Pain (Change in Observation Scale of Behavioral Distress Scale) Pain as recorded on Observation Scale of Behavioral Distress (OSBD 11 point behavioral scale rating the number and intensity of distress behaviors demonstrated before/during/after the procedure in 15-second intervals; higher scores and intensity of distress behaviors indicate worse pain) From arrival to procedural room to completion of procedure (~30 minutes), at 15-second intervals
Secondary Pre- and Post-Procedural Anxiety (Change in Childhood Anxiety Meter) Anxiety as recorded on Childhood Anxiety Meter (CAM 0-10 scale, using analogy of mercury thermometer to ask children to rate level of anxiety, with higher score indicating more anxiety) From arrival to procedural room to completion of procedure (~30 minutes)
Secondary Pre- and Post-Procedural Anxiety (Change in Child Fear Scale) Children's Fear Scale (CFS 0-4 scale, visual face scale correlated with 0-4 numeric scale, with 4 being highest fear/anxiety related to procedure) From arrival to procedural room to completion of procedure (~30 minutes)
Secondary Patient, Parent, and Provider Satisfaction (Post-procedure) Patient, parent, and provider satisfaction as assessed on 4-question Likert scale (0 to 5, with 5 being high satisfaction) survey From arrival to procedural room to completion of procedure (~30 minutes)
Secondary Total Dose of Sedation Needed Total dose (mg/kg) of pharmacologic sedation needed to complete renal biopsy with adequate patient analgesia, anxiolysis, and comfort From arrival to procedural room to completion of procedure (~30 minutes)
