Overview
Brief Summary
Nearly 50% of young children undergoing surgery exhibit high level of anxiety during induction of anesthesia because of exposure to unfamiliar environment and people and separation from parents. Increased preoperative anxiety may impact postoperative behavior changes such as emergence agitation, separation anxiety and sleep disturbance. Although some pediatric anesthesiologists routinely permit parental presence to reduce the anxiety during induction of anesthesia, previous studies have reported conflicting results. Recently the distraction using video game or animated cartoon has been reported to reduce anxiety of young children during induction of anesthesia. However, it was still undetermined whether distraction has its own ability to reduce children's anxiety separated from parental presence because they evaluated the effect of video method in the parental presence. The investigators design to investigated the efficacy of distraction with watching cartoon, parental presence and combined with watching cartoon and parental presence on reduction of anxiety during inhalational induction of anesthesia using sevoflurane. In addition this study includes long-term effect of each intervention such as postoperative emergence agitation and postoperative behavior change in children.
Detailed Description
This study is different from previous reports as follow. First, investigators separate the effect of cartoon distraction and parental presence on minimizing preoperative anxiety and determine whether an interaction between two different interventions is existent. Second, investigators evaluate the effect of preoperative anxiety on the long-term behavioral change of children. It was not clarified yet in clinical practice. Third, investigators evaluate the effect of each intervention on parental anxiety before and after induction of anesthesia.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale Scores at Baseline, Arrival in Operating Room, and Inhalation Induction
Time Frame: 1. baseline (10 minute after arrival in the preoperative holding area) 2. on arrival in the operating room, 3. during inhalational induction with sevoflurane
The investigators measure change in anxiety of children using Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety scale (m-YPAS): Scale changes from Activities, Vocalization, Expressing emotions, State of arousal, Interaction with family members. Each domain received a partial score based on the punctuation observed divided by the number of categories of that domain. The score of each domain is added to the others Total scores ranged from 23.4 to 100 The scores considered "cut points" to determine whether a patient had/had not anxiety were 23 * Without anxiety: 23.4 e 30 * With anxiety: greater than 30.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline Parental Anxiety at Postinduction of Anesthesia(1. baseline: 15 minute after arrival at preoperative holding area before induction of anesthesia 2. postinduction : after induction of anesthesia)
