Brief summary
The study is a prospective pilot patients aged 21 to 65 undergoing screening colonoscopy or diagnostic upper endoscopy. Patients are administered minimal sedation (2 mg of Versed and 25 mg of Fentanyl) and are given Virtual Reality (VR) goggles to wear for the duration of the procedure. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, effect, and safety of using VR goggles during endoscopic procedures to decrease sedation requirements, enhance patient satisfaction, and reduce recovery time.
Interventions
The device includes a computer tablet and virtual reality headset.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Total amount of sedative drugs administered during the procedure | End of procedure, up to 1 hour |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Patient-reported discomfort or pain (using 0-10 pain scale) | During PACU stay, approximately 30 minutes | — |
| Duration of the procedure | End of procedure, up to 1 hour | — |
| Overall patient satisfaction scores | During PACU stay, approximately 30 minutes | Using Likert scale of 1-7. Subjects will be asked to rank several variables on the Likert scale, including overall experience (from 1-very dissatisfied to 7-very satisfied), enjoyability (from 1- not enjoyable to 7-very enjoyable), and anxiety (from 1-extreme anxiety to 7-no anxiety). Scores range from 3-21, higher scores indicate satisfaction. |
| Number of events of complications from VR | During PACU stay, approximately 30 minutes | Events such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness. |
| Number of technical failures | End of procedure, up to 1 hour | — |
| Troubleshooting time | End of procedure, up to 1 hour | — |
| PACU length of stay | End of PACU stay, approximately 30 minutes | — |
