Abstract
The purpose of this review is to evaluate effective distraction techniques that could be applicable to preschool children in the radiology department. Databases used for search were MEDLINE and CINAHL. Due to a lack of literature on distraction techniques in the radiology setting, studies included were from auxiliary health care practices. Results in less invasive interventions were positive when only one sense was involved such as communication, music, soap bubbles or a warm pillow. Larger interventions found success distracting with two senses simultaneously; audiovisual distraction. During procedures where children already were in pain, distraction with two or more senses, such as audiovisual and touch, was successful. Authors theories... (More)

During procedures where children already were in pain, distraction with two or more senses, such as audiovisual and touch, was successful. Authors theories that one sense distraction is apt for projection radiography, while two sense distraction is best applied in interventions such as micturating cystourethrograms. More advanced distractions are best apt for children in pain during emergency radiographs. (Less)
