Overview

Brief Summary

During spinal anesthesia, sedation is performed using intravenous sedative for the patient's comfort and appropriate surgical environment. However, side effects of medications such as respiratory depression, hypotension, bradycardia and desaturation cannot be avoided. Recently, there have been developed a virtual reality experience equipment and a variety of virtual reality programs including visuo-haptic computer technology. There have been clinical studies that apply this technology to the pain medicine, sedation and medical education. However, no study has been reported for the purpose of replacing sedation during spinal anesthesia.

Therefore, we attempt to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sedation using virtual reality meditation program during spinal anesthesia for urologic surgery.

Arms & Interventions

Virtual reality sedation

Patients watches virtual reality sedation program that shows underwater world with comfortable music and narrations during surgery.

Intervention: Sedation by watching virtual reality sedative program

Sedation with intravenous sedatives

Patients receives intravenous sedative of midazolam (initial bolus 1-2 mg with maintenance dose of 1 mg every 10 - 30 min).

Intervention: Sedation by using intravenous sedative

Sedation with intravenous sedatives

Patients receives intravenous sedative of midazolam (initial bolus 1-2 mg with maintenance dose of 1 mg every 10 - 30 min).

Intervention: Midazolam

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Satisfaction score of patient

Time Frame: 20 minutes after the arrival at the postanesthesia care unit

Patient's satisfaction score measured by 5-point Likert-like verbal rating scale

Secondary Outcomes

  • incidence of adequate sedation(5 minutes after the end of surgery)
  • incidence of hypotension(5 min after the end of surgery)
  • incidence of nausea(5 min after the end of surgery)
  • incidence of vomiting(5 min after the end of surgery)
  • Satisfaction score of anesthesiologist(5 minutes after the end of the surgery)
  • Satisfaction score of surgeon(5 minutes after the end of the main surgical procedure)
  • incidence of desaturation(5 min after the end of surgery)
  • incidence of bradycardia(5 min after the end of surgery)
  • incidence of assisted mask ventilation(5 min after the end of surgery)
  • time to recovery at post-anesthesia care unit(5 min after the stay in the post-anesthesia care unit)
  • incidence of apnea(5 min after the end of surgery)
