VR Based Simulation in the Preparation of Children for MRI - MRVR
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Children, Only, Anesthesia
In brief
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether a virtual reality based preparation method can efficiently decrease the proportion of children requiring general anesthesia during MRI examinations. Participants will take part in a virtual reality environment resembling an MRI before their scheduled MRI examination. Researchers will compare these children to usual care and a booklet based preparation method to see if less children need anesthesia for completing the MRI examination.
