- Brief Summary
Paediatric medical treatment frequently involves painfulmedical procedures. Paediatric patients might feel severe anxiety and distressfrom such procedures. Procedural pain and anxiety are frequently poorlymanaged, which can lead to agitation in kids.
Trials have been conducted on both pharmaceutical andnon-pharmacological methods to lessen anxiety and pain during procedures. Dexmedetomidineis a selective 2-adrenoceptor agonist with sedative, anxiolytic, sympatholyticand analgesic-sparing effects. Dextmedetomidine is an intriguing substitute formedication in children because of its low effect on breathing and ease ofwaking the patient.
Non-pharmacological option to reduce preoperative anxiety isthe use of video as a form of distraction. Observing video distracts childrenfrom the operating room environment by engaging their minds in a familiarmade-up world. Studies have indicated that the use of screen-based technologiescan lessen the discomfort and anxiety associated with burn dressings andsurgery. Children become engrossed in watching that they become unaware oftheir surroundings and disregard any verbal or tactile stimuli.
Investigating whether the theoretical advantages of activelyengaging therapies on procedural pain and anxiety are supported in the clinicalsetting is therefore necessary. This study aimed to identify the research gapsin the effects of video distraction for pre-operative anxiolysis in pediatricsundergoing surgery under general anesthesia.
