Implication

Meta-analysis demonstrates that preoperative virtual reality reduces anxiety and improves compliance in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia, suggesting its beneficial use.

Key Points

Preoperative virtual reality significantly lowers anxiety scores in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia.
Results show improved compliance during anesthesia induction with virtual reality interventions compared to standard care.
Data from 12 randomized controlled trials indicate lower levels of fear and postoperative pain among virtual reality groups.
The intervention may enhance parental satisfaction, though it has minimal impact on emergence delirium and postoperative pain.
