Abstract:
Objective To explore the application effect of immersive virtual reality(IVR)technology and different viewing content in pediatric patients with general anesthesia during elective surgery,and to provide references for clinical implementation.Methods A total of 180 pediatric patients who underwent elective surgery under general anesthesia in a tertiary hospital in Qingdao from February to October 2023 were selected as study population using convenient sampling method.According to the operation time,60 pediatric patients who underwent surgery from May to July 2023 were included in the immersive panoramic surgical education group,and they could watch the panoramic surgical education video immersively on the basis of routine care.A total of 60 pediatric patients who underwent surgery from August to October 2023 were included in the immersive animation group to watch cartoons immersively on the basis of routine care.A total of 60 pediatric patients who underwent surgery from February to April 2023 were included in the control group and routine preoperative care was implemented.The preoperative anxiety levels,anesthesia induction compliance,and incidence of emergence agitation were compared in the 3 groups by the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale-Short Form(mYPAS-SF),anesthesia induction cooperation grade,and the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium scale(PAED).Results There were statistically significant differences in preoperative anxiety level,anesthesia induced compliance and incidence of emergence agitation during awakening between the 3 groups(P＜0.001).Among them,the preoperative anxiety level of the immersive panoramic surgical education group and the immersive animation group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The anesthesia induced compliance degree of the immersive panoramic surgical education group and the immersive animation group was better than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.017),and the incidence of emergence agitation in the immersive panoramic surgical education group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.004).Conclusion The use of IVR technology to watch panoramic surgical education videos and cartoons can help reduce the preoperative anxiety level and improve anesthesia induction cooperation degree of pediatric patients with general anesthesia during elective surgery,but the intervention effect of panoramic surgical education videos is better in improving the emergence agitation.
