Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a vein imaging device and virtual reality distraction on the success of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIC) placement, intervention duration, emotional appearance, pain, fear, and anxiety related to PIC intervention in children aged 4-10 years in a pediatric emergency unit.

Full description

The children were divided into four groups: control group, vein imaging group, virtual reality group, and vein imaging and virtual reality group. The duration of the intervention and the number of PIC interventions performed on each patient were recorded. The children were assessed before and after the procedure using the Emotional Appearance Scale for Children. After the procedure, the Child Fear Scale and Child Anxiety Scale-State were used to evaluate the most painful moment experienced by the child during the procedure using the Wong-Baker FACES (WB-FACES) and Color Analog Scale.
