Clinical Trial Summary

Children often need procedural sedation in the emergency department during painful procedures (such as reducing fractures).

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. VR may also reduce anxiety during sedation induction by reducing providing an alternative stimulus.

This study will randomize children (6 - 16 years old) to receive Virtual Reality or standard of care while undergoing procedural sedation. Investigators will measure heart rate, blood pressure, satisfaction (child, parent, provider), amount of sedatives used and compare between the two groups.
