Key result
Dexmedetomidine nasal drops combined with audio-visual animation significantly reduced the incidence of anxiety during anesthesia induction from 77.1% to 11.4% compared to routine care in children with congenital heart disease.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to observe the effect of dexmedetomidine nasal drops-assisted audio-visual animation psychological intervention on preoperative anxiety and coordination in children undergoing congenital heart disease surgery under general anesthesia.

Dexmedetomidine nasal drops combined with audio-visual animation significantly reduces preoperative anxiety and improves anesthesia induction compliance in children undergoing congenital heart disease surgery.
Wei Yao (2023) conducted an RCT in Congenital heart disease (n=70). Dexmedetomidine nasal drops and audio-visual animation vs. Normal saline nasal drops and routine nursing care was evaluated on Incidence of anxiety (mYPAS score ≥40) during anesthesia induction (p=<0.001). Dexmedetomidine nasal drops combined with audio-visual animation significantly reduced the incidence of anxiety during anesthesia induction from 77.1% to 11.4% compared to routine care in children with congenital heart disease.
