Pediatric Device for Induction of Anesthesia (PeDIA)
Turn Panic Into Play with PeDIA Anesthesia Balloons
Fifty to seventy-five percent of children experience anxiety on the day of surgery, with anxiety peaking during anesthesia induction. PeDIA pediatric anesthesia balloons turn panic into play. PeDIA is a colorful and playful balloon designed to reduce patient stress and increase patient satisfaction.
With very little instruction, children inhale and exhale through the PeDIA whistle mouthpiece or connected mask and hear a fun, playful sound as each respiratory cycle inflates and deflates the balloon, administering the anesthesia. Pedia offers distraction and interactive fun creating a more pleasant experience for the child and clinician.
