Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out any beneficial effects of electronic devices over preoperative pharmacological intervention in the preoperative period.

Clinical Trial Description

Preparation for surgery with the induction of general anesthesia can be a stressful experience for a child. Preoperative anxiety can prolong induction of anesthesia and postoperative recovery, as well as increasing the risk of postoperative delirium, pain, and analgesic use. Pharmacological interventions are associated with increased cost to the hospital, potential surgical delay while waiting for the medication to take effect, and delayed discharge from the recovery room. Non-pharmacological modalities comprise education, behavioral techniques, parental presence at induction of anesthesia, and using technology including cellular phones and tablets/iPad, with each category including an array of effective strategies for reducing anxiety. ;
