Brief Summary

Anxiety is when children feel scared, worried, or nervous before or during anesthesia induction. This can happen because they don't know what's happening, are scared of the hospital or medical equipment, or are worried about being separated from their parents. When parents are present, they can:

• Provide emotional support and reassurance
• Distract the child from scary things
• Help the child feel more calm and safe This can help reduce the child's anxiety levels. When parents are not present, children may feel:
• More scared and anxious
• Alone and unsupported
• More worried about what's happening This can increase the child's anxiety levels. we can prepare children and parents beforehand about what will happen
• Allow parents to be present during anesthesia induction
• Use distraction techniques like toys or videos
• Use gentle and calm anesthesia induction techniques By doing these things, we can help reduce anxiety in children and make the experience less scary for them.
