Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Virtual Reality Group
The children in the experimental group will receive the standard of care (access to in room activity including television (TV) distraction if desired, parent support and distraction at bedside, and quiet time) in addition to our intervention, an interactive virtual reality game, played for a minimum of 5 minutes prior to procedural sedation.
Virtual Reality Game
The virtual reality headset, device, and software, created by Stanford's Childhood Anxiety Reduction through Innovation and Technology (CHARIOT)program/Weightless Studio, LLC will be utilized in this study. Children in the VR intervention group will be allowed to select a distraction-based game to play with active VR content featuring interactive avatars and interactive experiences tailored to the pediatric population that allow players to do things such as control penguins sliding down a mountain while collecting pebbles for points, control puppies running in space to collect treats to the rhythm of music, and control an asteroid miner exploring an asteroid belt and collecting points based on color of asteroids collected. The game will last a minimum of 5 minutes in duration, provided participant tolerance. The participant may play longer if desired prior to receiving procedural sedation and the total length of activity played will be documented.
Standard of Care
The children in the control group receiving standard of care will have access to in room activity including TV distraction if desired, parent support and distraction at bedside, and quiet time.
