Abstract
This RCT investigates effects of VR intervention as compared to standard-of-care on procedural satisfaction during pediatric IV placement. VR significantly improved procedural satisfaction of caregivers whose children underwent IV. Caregiver-reported procedural satisfaction significantly predicted lower pain and anxiety. These findings demonstrate growing clinical implications for VR use in healthcare settings.
