| Popis: | INTRODUCTION: To compare the anxiety levels demonstrated by children during cast removal procedure between oscillating saw vs cast shear methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A randomised prospective study of 102 children (mean age 8.3 ± 3.5 years) with fractures involving upper or lower limbs. Children undergoing removal of cast were divided into 2 groups; either by an oscillating saw or a cast cutting shear. The level of anxiety was assessed by recording the heart rate with a portable fingertip pulse oximeter before, during and after removal of the cast.

RESULTS: There was a significant increase in the heart rate of children during cast removal while using the oscillating saw compared to cast shear (p |
