Brief Summary

We try to through the use of virtual reality technology in combination with lidocaine in different injection time to reduce the pain of PICC catheter school-age children. Using the convenience sampling method, the selection in May 2020, 2021 - may need to PICC placement of children as the research object, is divided into three groups A, B, c, group A in ultrasound guided by PICC placement; Group B and group C adopt VR intervention, and 5 min before the beginning of the next surgery using VR equipment. Group B was anesthetized after the needle was placed into the guide wire, and group C was anesthetized before the needle was placed into the guide wire.

Detailed Description

This study investigated the effect of VR combined with lidocaine local infiltration anesthesia in peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion, aiming to improve one-needle puncture success rate, reduce pain, reduce fear, improve compliance and catheterization time.

From May 2020 to May 2021, children requiring PICC were recruited by convenience sampling and divided into three groups: A, B and C. Group A was implanted with PICC under ultrasound guidance. Group B and group C all used VR intervention and used VR equipment 5 minutes before the operation began. Group B was anesthetized after the puncture needle was sent into the guide wire, and group C was anesthetized before the puncture needle was sent into the guide wire.The success rate of one puncture, pain, fear, compliance and catheterization time were compared among the three groups. A sample size and power analysis were conducted to determine the sample size required.The investigators assumed a medium effect size (f2 = 0.25) of the active VR. Using 2 tails and alpha = .05, a fixed-effect linear regression model would offer power greater than 0.80 with a total sample size of 159 children. To ensure adequate power, the investigators planned to recruit 56 participants for each group. Three groups were all operated by PICC specialist nurses, and the standard operation procedure of PICC catheterization was implemented in accordance with the infusion therapy nursing practice guidelines and implementation rules and the 2016 INS guidelines.

Group CVirtual reality technologyThe virtual reality device used was PICO NE2, with accessories including helmet equipment , (with a field of view of about 98°, built-in Android 8.1 system, Qualcomm Snapdragon processor), and an infrared sensor (handle)and the VR headset was worn in the optimal state 5 minutes before catheterization.After preparing the vr devicea and disinfecting the skin, local infiltration anesthesia was administered at the prepuncture site under ultrasound guidance using 0.5ml of 2% lidocaine. Approximately 2 minutes later, a skin puncture was performed and a guidewire was inserted. A broad incision was made to accommodate the torn vascular sheath for delivering the catheter to the predetermined length

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Success rate of one punctureImmediately after the end of the catheterization

The blood vessel was entered by one puncture, and there was no other operation to explore the subcutaneous vessel, pull out the needle or change the puncture site

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pain scoreImmediately after the end of the catheterization

Assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale ranging from "no pain" (0) to "the most severe pain" (10). A higher score indicates a greater degree of pain.
