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 mask placement. PeDIA pediatric anesthesia balloons are the only mask-free anesthesia delivery system for pediatric patients that can turn panic into play. Replace the fear-causing mask with 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. Patients 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.
