Summary
This is a randomized, controlled trial designed to investigate whether the use of virtual reality immersive relaxation during hand/arm operations can allow for a relaxing operating room experience for patients while potentially reducing anesthesia requirements.
Detailed description
The proposed study is a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of VR as an adjunct to standard anesthetic practice for upper extremity surgery. Patients will be randomized to undergo immersion relaxation via the use of VR during their procedure or control. In both groups patients will undergo regional anesthesia preoperatively according to standard practice. Patients will then be assessed postoperatively to assess the intraoperative propofol dose between groups, as well as secondary outcomes including patient satisfaction.
Conditions
