Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if a virtual reality (VR) distraction game played prior to procedural sedation for long bone fracture reduction will improve post-discharge negative behavior changes following discharge from the pediatric Emergency Department (ED).
Detailed Description
This randomized control trial will investigate the use of a virtual reality (VR) distraction game prior to IV ketamine procedural sedation for long bone fracture reduction. Prior studies have demonstrated that children undergoing anesthesia or procedural sedation can have lingering negative behavioral changes lasting several weeks after discharge home. Children who are anxious have higher rates of developing negative behavior changes. Opiate pain control and pre-operative instructional workshops have demonstrated efficacy in decreasing negative behavior outcomes. There is some evidence that distraction techniques, such as VR, can alleviate pre-procedural anxiety and pain during procedures. To our knowledge, evaluating the use of a non-pharmacologic, virtual reality intervention and its effects on reducing post-discharge negative behavior changes following discharge from the Emergency Department has not been evaluated.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Post-Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire (PHBQ)
Time Frame: 24 months
Post-Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire, a parent-report tool, with 27 items in six categories, comprising general, separation, and sleep anxieties, eating disturbance, aggression towards authority, apathy/withdrawal accesses negative behavioral changes in children post-surgery, hospitalization (Kain et al., 1996, Kain et al., 1999) or after minor ED procedures (Brodzinski et al., 2013). It takes 10 minutes and is given prior to the sedation and at 1-week via text/email, phone, or mail follow up post-discharge. Parents compare their child's behavior pre-hospitalization to post using the following: much less than before (1), less than before (2), same as before (3), more than before (4), and much more than before (5). Scores above 3 indicate greater maladaptive behavioral changes, below 3 indicate improvements and 3 indicates no change in behavior.
Secondary Outcomes
- Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS)(24 months)
