Summary
This study aimed to see if 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 designed to encourage steady breathing and distract kids from fear. However, the study was withdrawn before any children took part, so no results are available.
