Summary
This study tests whether a robotic seal named PARO can reduce agitation, anxiety, and pain in patients recovering from visceral surgery. 300 adults having elective surgery will either use PARO or not, and their agitation levels will be tracked for three days. The goal is to find a non-drug way to improve recovery and reduce complications.
