Official title
Animated Procedure Video Reduces Pain and Anxiety Among Pediatric Patients Undergoing Pin Removal Following Supracondylar Fracture Fixation - A Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
Assessing the reduction in pain and anxiety by the use of showing an animated video of the procedure, among pediatric patients undergoing pin removal after fixation of supracondylar fractures.
Detailed description
Supracondylar fractures requiring K-wire fixation ultimately undergo pin removal after fracture fixation. This is a cause of pain and anxiety to children. This study aims to curtail the aforementioned troubles by distracting the patient using an animated video of the procedure. Patients will be randomized into two arms, and pain and anxiety scales will be implemented before, during, and after the procedure to assess whether a change exists between the two arms.
Interventions
- Procedure K-wire removal with animated procedure video being shown to the patient during its performance.
K-wire removal, post-supracondylar fracture fixation, will be performed while showing the patient an animated video of the procedure. - Procedure K-wire removal without animated procedure video being shown to the patient during its performance.
K-wire removal, post-supracondylar fracture fixation, will be performed without showing the patient an animated video of the procedure.
Primary outcome measures
- Wong Baker Pain scale (WBS) [Time frame: Evaluation will be done as per the criteria before, during the standard procedure, and 60 minutes post-procedure.]
- Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) [Time frame: Evaluation will be done as per the criteria before, during the standard procedure, and 60 minutes post-procedure.]
- Children's Anxiety Meter-State (CAM-S) [Time frame: Evaluation will be done as per the criteria before, during the standard procedure, and 60 minutes post-procedure.]
- Short State Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI) [Time frame: Evaluation will be done as per the criteria before, during the standard procedure, and 60 minutes post-procedure.]
