The proposed study will assess whether an interactive perioperative teaching platform (IPTP)
provided to families of patients undergoing ambulatory pediatric surgery will reduce
families' anxiety, and improve satisfaction and understanding, relative to current practice.
The IPTP will educate patient families on the continuum of their child's surgical experience,
from arriving at the hospital through registration, the operating room (OR), and the hospital
floor. An active video format will be used to provide instructions for navigating the
hospital; describe induction of anesthesia and the surgical procedure; and provide
post-surgery and post-discharge instructions for pain management. A comparison cohort of
patients undergoing surgery without access to the IPTP will be recruited to assess the
benefits of the IPTP for improving metrics of family satisfaction, preoperative anxiety, and
postoperative understanding of discharge instructions.
