NCT03961581

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to measure perioperative anxiety in children from 2 to 10 years old in two distinct homogeneous groups before and after the ride in electric cars versus bed travel in the operating room. The secondary objectives will be to measure the anxiety at the induction, the pain and the agitation of the children in SSPI as well as the satisfaction and the lived experience of the parents during the ambulatory stay of their child in the two groups journey in electric cars versus trip in bed. It is a prospective, randomized, single-centric observational study (small electric cars versus bed-ridden), focusing on children during their stay in the operating theater at the CHU Nord of Marseille for ENT and ophthalmic surgery. This study on the use of electric cars as a means of locomotion within the block may lead to other multicenter studies.
