PiscesDrug Your Child with Video Games
Undergoing surgical procedures for kids can be terrifying -- will this new invention really ease the pain?
What looks like a colorful helmet for a virtual video game is actually something called PediSedate, a headset designed to make the process of being anesthetized, well, fun.
According to the product info, the space-age gadget allows children who are about to undergo surgical procedures to play a Nintendo Game Boy system or listen to CDs while breathing in nitrous oxide from an attached snorkel until they're knocked out.
According to the product info, PediSedate "dramatically improves the hospital or dental experience for the child, parents and healthcare providers." That may be -- but it still looks creepy.
What do you think -- is this invention an ingenious way to help kids deal with the dentist, or just the opposite?

I am thinking the same thing as sarah…it only takes seconds so whats up with the video game. Also i can doubt this will be used very often becuase the need for sterilization. This looks like it would be almost impossible to sterilize. I can tell you most doctors will opt for the regular surgical mask with the flavored syrups in them.
I’d say more effective yet would be the anti-anxiety meds of some sort that they can give kids before surgery. When my six year old had surgery they gave him some kind of liquid medicine to calm his nerves before surgery and shortly after taking that I don’t think anything in the world could have made him nervous. He couldn’t stop laughing hysterically. He was my drunk little guy. :) Made the surgery easier on us all!!! That is far more effective than attatching some strange video game to their head!
I want one.
If it helps with their experience with doctors, then so be it!

Lots of specialists state that loan aid a lot of people to live the way they want, just because they can feel free to buy necessary things. Moreover, banks present college loan for different classes of people.
Useful website. Great post, have a nice day!
Excellent site. Very helpful, I look forward to reading more of your posts.
Most people, when they criticize, whether they like it or hate it, they’re talking about product. That’s not art, that’s the result of art. Art, to whatever degree we can get a handle on (I’m not sure that we really can) is a process. It begins in the heart and the mind with the eyes and hands.
Very useful site. Great post, finally a decent website with good information in it.
Hm, nice article, I just don’t think about this before…

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

From experience it only takes a matter of seconds to be knocked out once the mask is put on so what is the need for a video game?
