Lumbar Puncture Video Study
An Educational Video to Address Parental Concern in Lumbar Puncture Consent: A Randomized Control Trial
Descripción general del estudio
Descripción detallada
Introduction: Lumbar puncture is a safe procedure commonly performed on pediatric patients for a variety of indications. Parents are informed of and consented to this procedure, but are often left with concerns and doubts. There are no published studies of the nature of the concerns of parents in North America, and no studies examining a process to improve pediatric lumbar puncture consent. Here the investigators conduct a randomized control study of a short educational video on a handheld device as an adjunct to the formal consent process.
Methods: 72 patients were enrolled, evenly divided between the control arm and video arm of the study. A survey was provided examining four key indices: parent self-rated understanding of the procedure, their perception of its safety, their perception of the painfulness and their overall comfort with their child undergoing LP. In addition, demographic characteristics such as prior experience with LP or epidural, language spoken at home, age of the child and indication for lumbar puncture, as well as qualitative information about parent concerns were collected.
