Summary

Detailed Description

The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of immersive audiovisual distraction and virtual reality to reduce perioperative anxiety in pediatric patients undergoing surgery at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.

We will be enrolling patients age 5-12 years presenting for elective surgery. Patients will be randomized to one of two groups: (1) virtual reality headset with routine anesthetic care and (2) routine anesthetic care only.
