Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the method of transfer to the operating room can reduce preoperative anxiety and postoperative emergence delirium in male children aged 3 to 7 years undergoing elective adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does transfer using a ride-on toy car reduce preoperative anxiety compared with standard stretcher transfer?
* Does this transfer method affect the incidence and severity of postoperative emergence delirium? Researchers will compare toy car transfer with standard hospital stretcher transfer to see if the toy car transfer is associated with lower anxiety levels and reduced emergence delirium.

Participants will:

* Transfer to the operating room either using a ride-on toy car or a standard hospital stretcher
* Have preoperative anxiety assessed at predefined time points
* Be evaluated for postoperative emergence delirium during recovery
