VIP Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: VR GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The patient wears the VR headset after being positioned on the table and the surgical time out has been completed. The VR scene and accompanying music will continue until the end of the procedure or until the patient wishes for it to be removed. The patient will receive standard operative and nursing care. The study team member will record the intra-operative vitals as detailed in the control group procedure. At the end of the procedure, the patient will be moved to recovery and will receive standard care. At 15 minutes, they will be provided with the anxiety questionnaire and the ISAS. Additional questions will be asked; their level of VR immersion and if they would like to receive the VR technology again if they were to undergo another procedure in the future. They will then be free to leave once they have met the standard discharge criteria.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
The patient will be positioned on the operating table and have routine monitoring attached (ECG, blood pressure, O2 saturations, end tidal carbon dioxide monitoring (ETCO2). A surgical safety time out will be performed. The patient will receive routine operative and nursing care. The study team member will record highest and lowest heart rate and blood pressure as well as lowest O2 saturation and the total intra-operative dose of fentanyl and midazolam administered to the patient. At the end of the procedure, the patient is assisted into a wheelchair and will return to the recovery area. After 15 minutes of recovery, a member of the study team will give them the post-operative questionnaires which will consist of answering how anxious they felt during the procedure and the 11 question Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia scale (ISAS). The patient will then be free to leave once they have met the standard discharge criteria.
