Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that, from the use of virtual reality, there will be a reduction in the perception of pain in children undergoing peripheral intravenous catheterization, with lower values ??in the Faces Pain Scale-Revised, compared with the control group.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected that, from the use of virtual reality, there will be an increase in the effectiveness of the success of peripheral intravenous catheterization, defined as: the insertion of the entire catheter in the first attempt, with blood return along the catheter cannula and infusion of 2 ml of Chloride 0.9% sodium, without changes in inspection and palpation of the insertion site, or painful complaints reported by the child, with the intravenous access device being able to receive fluids or medications (CUPER et al., 2012; AVELAR et al 2015). ; YEN et al, 2008) through the use of virtual reality in the child, verified through the increase of correct answers in the first attempt of catheterization.;it is expected that, from the use of virtual reality, there will be a reduction in the time to perform peripheral intravenous catheterization, through the use of virtual reality in the child, verified through the reduction of the time to perform the procedure.;A reduction in behavioral stress is expected, assessed through variables of the Observational Scale of Behavioral Distress, through the use of virtual reality in the child, verified through the greater frequency of the absence of the behaviors observed in this scale.
