Filter by:Observational study recording sedation and safety of patients undergoing remimazolam sedation for peripheral nerve blocks. Objectives: To explore the safety and efficacy of remimazolam for neuraxial procedures and peripheral nerve pre-blocks and re-blocks. Patients undergoing epidurals, fascial plane blocks, and peripheral nerve blocks will receive remimazolam for sedation. Specific outcomes to assess include: depth of sedation, length of sedation, presence of apnea, presence of nausea/vomiting/other side effects, if the sedation was sufficient for the procedure. Assessment methods: MOAAS - Modified Observer's Assessment of Alertness and Sedation score Subjective patient report Vital signs Time for recovery Side effects Hypothesis: Remimazolam provides short-acting, adequate and safe sedation for peripheral nerve blocks in the ambulatory setting.
In pediatric patients Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) insertion requires pharmacological sedation provided by an anesthesiologist, which poses a certain degree of risks. In enrolled subjects, PICC insertion is tried without drug sedation, using an immersive virtual reality experience as a distraction technique. If the subjects is not able to keep still or if pain levels are too high, the virtual reality attempt is stopped and standard drug sedation is provided by a pediatric anesthesiologist. Aim of study is to evaluate the feasibility of the PICC insertion procedure using the virtual reality distraction technique. The investigators hypothesize that this could avoid the need for drug sedation, reducing sedation-related risks and costs and reduce anxiety and pain related to the procedure.
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.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of distraction by using external cold and vibration-Buzzy and VR on reducing procedural pain and anxiety in children aged 7 to 12 years during phlebotomy injection.
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental research with the purpose of determining the effect of the methods of cold application and Shotblocker on the pain and anxiety level of the children in reducing the pain associated with the intramuscular injection. The hypotheses of the study: Hypothesis 0. Shotblocker and the cold application to the injection site prior to the injection are not effective in reducing the pain associated with the intramuscular injection in children. Hypothesis 1. Using ShotBlocker during the intramuscular injection reduces the pain and anxiety experienced by the child. Hypothesis 2. Applying cold to the injection site prior to the intramuscular injection reduces the pain and anxiety experienced by the child. This research was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study in a university hospital in Çorum. The sample of the study comprised 150 children aged 7 to 12 years who were brought to the pediatric injection room in a university hospital and had intramuscular injection. The children were randomized into the Shotblocker (n=50), cold application (n=50) and control (n=50) groups. In addition to Wong-Baker Pain Scale and Child Anxiety Scale, the Child Information Form was used in the study to determine the introductory characteristics of the children and their family.
The objective of this study is to prospectively examine the preoperative anxiety scores of ASD patients in an adaptive sensory environment. Additionally, the investigators aim to determine the relationship of severity of sensory integration in ASD patients and their preoperative anxiety scores. The study will also study the family satisfaction with tailored care of their ASD child in the peri-operative environment.
Colonoscopy is an essential tool for diagnostic evaluation for a wide range of gastrointestinal complaints and is considered the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening. This procedure is often associated with patient anxiety both prior to and during the procedure, as well as discomfort,which is managed with procedural sedation.Anticipation of an uncomfortable experience can deter patients from undergoing the procedure despite it being medically indicated. Music has a number of beneficial effects including improving senses of relaxation and well being. Use of music during colonoscopy is inconsistent and there are no society guidelines or recommendations regarding its use. The investigators hypothesize that music will improve the overall patient experience and enhance endoscopist performance.The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to study effects of music on both the patient experience and endoscopist performance during colonoscopy. Eligible patients will be randomized to two groups: a "music group" and a "no music"control group.Patients in the music group will be asked for their preference of music to be played during their colonoscopy. For patients in the music group, this music will be played in the procedure room during the procedure, while those in the control group will have no music playing. Patient anxiety and pain will be assessed both before and after the procedure.Overall patient experience after the procedure will be assessed on a likert scale. The performance of the endoscopist will be assessed by measuring adenoma detection rate and adenomas per colonoscopy. Additional outcomes to be assessed include total procedure time and amount of sedation required.
The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of enhanced preoperative education using a Pediatric Interactive Relational Agent (PIRA), designed for children ages 4 through10 years and their families, compared to the standard preoperative education currently provided. The study will also look at any differences in anxiety between the two educational groups.
Dose-finding study to compare intranasal midazolam doses of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mg/kg in children undergoing laceration repair to achieve the following aims: Specific Aim #1: To determine the most effective dose of intranasal midazolam for producing adequate sedation state and time to onset of minimal sedation associated with each dose. Specific Aim #2: To determine the time to recovery and describe the adverse events associated with each dose.
Nasogastric tube (NGT) is a commonly performed procedure in the Emergency Department. Although it is not a major procedure, it is usually associated with a bad experience and cause discomfort and pain in kids. This randomized controlled double-blinded double-dummy trial aims to investigate the efficacy of local topical anesthetic and/or anxiolysis for pain/anxiety related to NGT insertion. Eligible patients are children with gastroenteritis aged 6 months to 5 years requiring NGT rehydration. The intervention are 3 arms of nebulized lidocaine with midazolam compared to nebulized midazolam alone or placebo. The primary outcome is procedure-related pain assessment using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) scale during final NGT insertion attempt.
