This study aims to improve how anesthesia care is delivered to children in participating hospitals. Because it includes all children having anesthesia, it may help ensure safer, better care during procedures.
This study tests a way to help children aged 5-12 feel less anxious before surgery. If successful, it could make the start of anesthesia calmer and more comfortable for your child.
