In this study, a virtual reality program playing nature and animal scenes was tested in 27 patients who had previously undergone moderate sedation for colonoscopy using average doses of 4 mg of midazolam and 100 \u00b5g of fentanyl. Of these patients, 26 (96.3%) completed colonoscopy without requesting sedation. Six subjects considered asking for sedation, but their pain was not severe or quickly subsided. When reporting pain levels, 42% of patients said the pain was similar to that of their previous colonoscopy, and another 42% said they had more pain. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10=best), satisfaction was rated as 7.3, and 18 patients (69%) said they would ask for virtual reality again, whereas 7 patients indicated they might request virtual reality again, and 1 said no. Endoscopists rated their overall experience as 8.6 out of 10 (10=excellent), but they gave it a rating of only 5 among 3 procedures that were ranked difficult.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
