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
