Patients in this group will be offered virtual reality distraction through the use of OR in addition to standard of care.

Patients in this group will receive standard care, including the proposition to use topical anesthetic cream prior to venipuncture attempt, usual distraction and positioning proposed by the treating nurse.

Distraction in the Emergency Using Virtual Reality for Intravenous Needs in Children to Improve Comfort (DEVINCI): A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

The primary outcome of this study is the mean pain score felt during the procedure (self-report of pain level during the procedure) measured by the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS).
The VNRS consists of pain scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain). It is a well-established, valid, and reliable tool for the self-report of pain intensity in children as young as 6 years of age. This scale is widely used as it requires a lower degree of abstraction and less resources when compared to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The VNRS requires no physical tools, which explains its wide use in older children and adults with acute pain.

Individual 0 to 10 rating scales (without subscales), will be filled by the patient, parent and nurse present during the venipuncture.
0 indicates "not at all", whereas 10 indicated "extremely" with respect to the question asked. Participants can only choose integers between 0 and 10.
The results obtained from this scale aim to inform the study team on the participants' perception of pain management received by children undergoing a venipuncture, with respect to pain relief, side effects, physical recovery, and emotional recovery.
The question asked is the following:
"Considering pain relief, side effects, physical recovery, and emotional recovery, are you satisfied with the treatments your child received for pain? (0 = not at all, 10 = extremely)"

Will be measured with the Procedure Behaviour Check List (PBCL). Consists of 8 sub-categories, graded 1 (very light) to 5 (extremely intense), for maximum of 40 points. According to a systematic review of observational measures of pain in children and adolescents, this scale was among the scales with the best balance of evidence, ease of use, and validity for the evaluation for pain-related distress

Self-report of pain level at baseline, measured by the Verbal Numerical Rating Scale (VNRS). 0 (no pain) to 10 (extreme pain) pain scale. The NRS is a well-established, valid, and reliable tool for the self-report of pain intensity in children as young as 6 years of age. This scale is widely used as it requires a lower degree of abstraction and less resources when compared to the VAS. The VNRS is even simpler, as it requires no physical tools, which explains its wide use in older children and adults with acute pain.

Measured with the Child Fear Scale (CFS), a self-reported measure of anxiety adapted from the Faces Anxiety Scale (McKinley et al., 2003) for specific use in children undergoing painful experiences. It presents five faces ranging from 0 (no fear) through 4 (extremely fearful). The child is asked to indicate which face shows best how he/she feels during the procedure.

Interventions. When venipuncture (either for IV line insertion or diagnostic venipuncture) is prescribed by a physician, a topical anesthetic cream (Maxilene® 4 - Lidocaine 4%) will be proposed to the patient, as standard of care. Usual positioning will be used by the staff nurse.
A) Virtual reality: Patients in this group will be offered virtual reality distraction through the use of OR.
B) Control intervention (standard of care): Patients in this group will receive standard care, including the proposition to use topical anesthetic cream prior to venipuncture attempt, usual distraction and positioning proposed by the treating nurse.
