Summary

preoperative anxiety and parental deprivation can be a traumatic time for young children undergoing surgery and remain challenges to anesthesiologists. Preoperative anxiety stimulates the sympathetic, parasympathetic, and endocrine systems, leading to an increase in heart rate (HR), blood pressure, and cardiac excitability. Pediatric anesthesiologists strive to minimize distress for children in the operating room (OR) environment and to provide a smooth induction of anesthesia
