This app is quick and simple to use. Even better, kids love it! Open this app as youre ready to begin your mask induction. Allow the child to pick their favorite balloon color. As the preset video of the balloon begins to play, encourage the child to "play a video game" by having them blow into the mask as they try to pop the balloon. With the inhalational anesthetic flowing, your pediatric patient will soon be slipping into stage II. Recommended for children ages 3-7 years old.
Decrease anxiety and fear in your pediatric patient as they undergo the stresses of a mask induction. PediPop is the worlds first app specifically designed to assist with mask inductions of your pediatric patients. With PediPop you dont have to worry about wifi/cell reception or annoying adds/commercials. Youll be amazed at the difference between a child that is actively engaged in participating with this fun app vs common environmental distractions, such as watching a cartoon.
