BEHAVIORAL

simulation

Dyads allocated to the IG were taken into a tour to a simulation operating room accompanied by an expert anesthesia technologist two weeks before the day of surgery. This simulation operating theater is a real operating room equipped with a surgical trolley, sealing surgical lights, anesthesia machine, vital signs monitor, stethoscope, surgical trays, surgical sink, and gas supply pendent. It was prepared with popular cartoon characters, child manikin, and face masks connected to the anesthesia circuit and re-breathing bag. After being assessed by anesthesia clinic doctors, children and their parents in the IG were given a chance to visit the simulation operating room, to receive orientation, education, and demonstration orientation about what they are going to experience in the operating room. Children were encouraged to apply vital signs monitoring, and to simulate providing mask anesthesia induction to a child manikin.
