New pediatric Anesthesia?

In the above link look down towards the bottom of the page. There you will see a new device used for pediatric surgery. I wonder if they would use that for the people who have extreme phobia of surgery. Also what are all of you guy's thoughts on it.

Looks cool, but I don't know, If you are old enough to put that in your mouth and breath without fighting it, you are old enough for me to play "spaceman" with you and have you use a mask like the astronauts do! (my line)

May work for some calm kids thus no need for the snorkel. I don't think it will fly if its very expensive. It does however look like a good device for the dentist---but how to get to the teeth???:)

Yeah I was thinking that too gowkout last night after I posted the message. But why would a dentist buy it when they could just use standard headphones as some do already?

The more I have thought about it, basic headphones would and should work just as well in most cases anyone else agree?

Thanks
