Virtual reality offers alternative to sedation during surgery, recent study finds
Science Line
Before heading into surgery, most patients want — and often need — sedation to ease pain and quell anxiety. But sedatives are sometimes overprescribed, which can lead to trouble breathing and low blood pressure. In a recent study, researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found that virtual reality provides a possible alternative to sedation.

Positive trend between video game warm-up and surgical simulation performance
Medical Dialogues
Video games are a very common form of entertainment around the world and the percentage of individuals that enjoy gaming as a hobby continues to increase every year. Given their ubiquity, video games have received significant attention in the media. Consequently, video games can have a negative impact on its users, such as propensity for violence. Conversely, certain benefits have been seen with gaming, including increased creativity, visual-spatial skills, hand–eye coordination, depth perception, and attention. Thus, gaming seems to have potential to increase performance in other tasks that require similar skills.
