Summary

This study was designed to test whether a special video game, controlled by breathing in and out, could help children aged 4-11 feel less anxious when getting anesthesia through a mask. The game was meant to encourage steady breathing and distract the child. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
