VR device
The VR device consists of a pair of VR glasses with a video previously chosen and installed. Patient preparation must be done before initiating the protocol. The first step is to choose patient candidates for VR who are understanding and interested. Guardian approval is required; then it is necessary to explain the principle, the stages and the benefits of the care. The intensity of pain is calculated according to the visual analog scale before, during the procedure and 30 minutes after as well as the max VAS during the procedure, the 'Children Fear Scale', the satisfaction score and any adverse effects are noted.
