NCT02671578
BACKGROUND: The degree of consciousness during nitrous oxide use is still a matter of concern for both dentists and anesthesiologists. Investigators hypothesized that BIS levels do not vary according nitrous oxide concentration during minimum to moderate sedation in the dental treatment. METHODS: One hundred patients undergoing dental procedures demanding local anesthesia (1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine with 1:100.000 epinephrine) were enrolled in this study. Initial pain and anxiety were measured by 11-point numerical and anxiety visual scales, respectively. Systolic/diastolic arterial blood pressure, SpO2, heart and respiratory rates, and psychomotor ability (Trieger test) were assessed before, during and after dental treatment. Sedation levels were evaluated by both BIS and sedation analogic scale at the same intervals. The duration of treatment along with nitrous oxide concentration and side effects were observed. Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman and Mann-Whitney tests were used (alpha=5%).

Hospitalization is a stressful and threatening experience, which can be emotionally devastating to children. Hospital play interventions have been widely used to prepare children for invasive medical procedures and hospitalization. Nevertheless, there is an imperative need for rigorous empirical scrutiny of the effectiveness of hospital play interventions, in particular, using play activities to ease the psychological burden of hospitalized children. This study tested the effectiveness of play interventions to reduce anxiety and negative emotions in hospitalized children. A non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test, between subjects design was conducted in the two largest acute-care public hospitals in Hong Kong. A total of 304 Chinese children (ages 3-12) admitted for treatments in these two hospitals were invited to participate in the study. Of the 304 paediatric patients, 154 received hospital play interventions and 150 received usual care.
