About this study

Official title: The Effect of Child Choice With Accompanying Parent on Pediatric Anxiety and Postoperative Delirium During Induction of Anesthesia During Day Case Surgeries.

Induction of anesthesia can be distressing both for children and their parents. Nonpharmacological behavioral interventions can reduce the anxiety of children without significant adverse effects as seen with sedative drugs.

The aim of this study will be to evaluate whether the children's or parental preference with attending parent affects on the postoperative delirium of the children or not. The delirium of the children will be assessed by the Pediatric Anesthesia Occurrence Delirium Scale (PAED)

Read the detailed description

Anesthetic induction can be one of the most stressful experiences for the child during the perioperative period, with almost 50% of the children showing significant anxiety. . To minimize the effect of anxiety, several methods have been adopted, such as the introduction of day-case surgery, parental presence at the induction of anesthesia, distractions and the use of pharmacological agents like midazolam to reduce anxiety. Although the effect of parental presence on the anxiety of children and parents was studied in various studies. Whether the children's choice of parental selection affects anxiety and postoperative delirium not studied yet. In this study, we will evaluate the anxiety of children by using mYPAS and postoperative delirium by using PAED.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation with Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) in the postoperative waiting room

    Incidence of post-anesthesia and postoperative delirium Discordant behaviors assessed with Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) with five features, each scored using a 5-point Likert scale

    Measured: Postoperative 1st day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS) of the children undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.

    The mYPAS will be used to evaluate the anxiety level of children. The mYPAS is an observational measure of preoperative anxiety consisting of 27 items in 5 domains (activity, emotional expressivity, state of arousal, vocalization, and use of parents). The adjusted mYPAS total score ranges from 22.9 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety.

    Measured: Perioperative period
