Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Children aged 2-12 presenting to the Rady Children's Hospital San Diego (RCHSD) emergency department with facial lacerations requiring suture repair will be eligible to participate in the study. Participating children will be randomized to standard care versus standard care plus iPad use during the procedure. Children's anxiety levels assessed using a validated scale will be measured from video recordings made of the procedure. Parent and provider satisfaction surveys will be completed following the procedure. The primary study aim is to determine how iPad use affects children's anxiety levels during facial laceration repair. The secondary study aim is to determine how iPad use affects parent and provider satisfaction regarding a child's facial laceration repair. Hypothesis is that iPad use decreases children's anxiety levels during facial laceration repair and increases parent and provider satisfaction regarding a child's facial laceration repair.
