Summary

This study planned to test a device called Lullabreath, a video game controlled by breathing in and out, to help children aged 4-11 feel less anxious when getting anesthesia before surgery. The game was meant to encourage steady breathing and distract the child. However, the trial was withdrawn before any children were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Lullabreath device (interactive multimedia diversion device with breath control)
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could have pointed toward a drug-free way to reduce anxiety and improve the anesthesia experience for children.
What could go wrong
The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data exist. It is unknown whether the device would have been effective or practical in a real operating room.
