Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of virtual reality technology combined with self-made spe-cial masks on preoperative anxiety and general anesthesia induction in children.Methods A total of 180 chil-dren with adenoid hypertrophy who underwent surgical treatment in this hospital from 2021 to 2023 were se-lected as the research subjects and divided into the control group,the experiment group 1 and 2 according to the random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.After the children entered the anesthesia induc-tion room,the control group was accompanied by one nurse to play with toys and read books to relieve anxie-ty.The experiment group 1 and 2 wore the PICO 4 VR all-in-one machine.In the control group and the experi-ment group 1,the masks were connected to the anesthesia machine for inhalation of sevoflurane.The children lost consciousness and completed the peripheral venous puncture operation and were sent to the operating room.They were assisted with intravenous anesthetics and tracheal intubation was completed.The experiment group 2 completed anesthesia induction by connecting a special mask to an anesthesia machine and a negative pressure suction tube on the basis of the experiment group 1.The simplified Modified Yale Preoperative Anxi-ety Scale(mYPAS-SF)scores of the three groups were compared at the time of entering the anesthesia induc-tion room(T0),10 min after entering the anesthesia induction room(T1),before the start of anesthesia induc-tion(T2),as well as the anesthesia induction time and the incidence of postoperative anesthesia adverse reac-tions.Results The comparison results among the three groups of mYPAS-SF scores showed that at T1 and T2,the scores of the experiment group 1 and 2 were decreased compared with the control group(P<0.05).The mYPAS-SF scores in the three groups showed that the scores at T0,T1,and T2 were significantly higher than those at admission(P<0.05).The levels in the experiment group 1 and 2 gradually were decreased over time(P<0.05),while there was no significant change in the control group(P>0.05).There was a statisti-cally significant difference in the anesthesia induction time among the three groups(P<0.05),and it was gradually decreased(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of choking cough,stridor and restlessness among the three groups(P<0.05),both the experiment group 1 and 2 were lower than the control group(P<0.05),and the incidence of choking cough in the experiment group 2 was lower than that in the experiment group 1(P<0.05).Conclusion Virtual reality technology combined with special masks for the induction of general anesthesia can reduce preoperative anxiety in children,shorten the induction time of anesthesia,and reduce adverse reactions of anesthesia.
