Interventions
Virtual Reality with Oculus Go headset
The investigator will place the Oculus Go VR headset on the patient. VR will provide distracting, pleasant visual stimulus from the beginning of the procedure (while the patient is being cleaned and draped) and removed immediately after the regional anesthesia procedure is complete for roughly 10-20 minutes. All patients receiving VR will view the same scene.
