The Influence of Audiovisual Distraction on Pain Reduction During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Under Monitored Anesthesia Care: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Authors' conclusion
Audiovisual distraction is a useful adjunct to reduce the dose of remifentanil under monitored anesthesia care during transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI under MAC with remifentanil sedation, tertiary referral academic hospital, July 2019–July 2021
- Participants
- 90 patients
- Comparison
- Audiovisual distraction system vs standard care during TAVI under MAC
- Audiovisual distractionn = 45
- Standard caren = 45reference
- Primary endpoint
- Average and peak infusion rates of remifentanil

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Average and peak remifentanil infusion rates
- Audiovisual distraction vs Standard care: P = 0.028
- Audiovisual distraction vs Standard care: P = 0.025
- Intention-to-treat
