Measure
General Anesthesia Decrease Use : PROMISE
To decrease the total number of pediatric patients who require general anesthesia through the use of PROMISE PROMISE (Pediatric Radiation Oncology with Movie Induced Sedation Effect): Pediatric Radiation Oncology with Movie Induced Sedation Effect (PROMISE) is an interactive, incentive-based movie system that integrates with a video surveillance gating module (VisionRT) to help keep a child's attention and prevent him or her from moving during radiation treatment. This technology is being studied as an alternative sedation solution for pediatric patients needing radiation treatment. As part of the trial, patients will be attempted to have CT simulation scan and first radiation treatment(s) using PROMISE, with general anesthesia on standby should PROMISE be unsuccessful. If PROMISE is unsuccessful for a given patient, then standard of care general anesthesia will be used for that patient's radiation treatment and PROMISE will be reattempted at physician discretion with anesthesia on standby.

Patient- and family-reported health quality of life is assessed using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 3.0 Cancer Module. It is a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4(almost always) and the scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating a better health-related quality of life. The parent assessment is the parents' or caretakers' assessment of the patients' quality of life. The patient assessment is the patients' self-assessed quality of life. Patients (optionally per protocol) and parents/caretakers (required per protocol) completed questionnaires at baseline, once per week during treatment, and at the 1M follow up visit.

Timeframe: From baseline through 30 days (+/- 14 days) after treatment termination (treatment length varied from 1 to 30 fractions)

Patient reported anxiety is measured by the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Survey Short Form (mYPAS-SF).The mYPAS consists of 5 items (activity, vocalizations, emotional expressivity, state of apparent arousal). Behavior is rated from 1 to 4 or 1 to 6 (depending on the item), with higher numbers indicating the highest severity within that item (i.e, high levels of anxiety). Scores are calculated based on responses, with scores ranging from 23 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher anxiety (worse outcome). This is one questionnaire and is not separated by patient and family- the patient's parents or caretakers assess and report the patient's anxiety. Patients (optionally per protocol) and parents/caretakers (required per protocol) completed questionnaires at baseline, once per week during treatment, and at the 1M follow up visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Data was collected at each treatment session throughout treatment (treatment length varied from 1 to 30 fractions)

To determine the average patient movement with PROMISE; patients shift position during treatment, this outcome measure is looking at the average amount of movement, in millimeters, patients had while undergoing treatment with PROMISE. Data was collected at each treatment session (fraction) throughout treatment. Treatment length for each patient was dependent on their individual diagnosis and therefore varied from 1 to 30 fractions. An average was then calculated from all of the treatment fractions for all patients.
