All of the tools currently available for preoperative preparation of children either use a third person approach (i.e., use media whereby they watch a video or look at pictures of another child receiving an anesthetic), provide tours at some time previous to the operation date, or are shown the equipment that they will encounter during their anesthetic. No preoperative programme currently allows the child to experience the entire chain of events from leaving the preoperative preparation area (and their parents), walking to the operating area, being initially prepared for and receiving anesthesia and recovering from anesthesia, in real time and from a first person perspective. As such the investigators are carrying out this study to assess whether virtual reality preoperative preparation is effective in reducing anxiety at induction of anesthesia.
