Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Incidence of anxiety at anaesthetic induction using MYPAS-SF score. 2. Average MYPAS -SF score at anesthetic induction in group V as compared to Group C. 3. Incidence of Emergence delirium after surgery (PAEDS score) in children in Group V as compared to Group C.Timepoint: Five minutes after shifting to preoperative area, At the time of anesthetic induction, After induction of general anesthesia, After transfer to the PACU

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Difference in induction compliance checklist score in children in Group V as compared to Group C. 2. High Parental anxiety in the preoperative area & at anesthetic induction (SF -STAI score) in parents of children in Group V as compared to Group C. 3.Acceptance of intervention on a GRS scale of 0-10 & usefulness of the headset-based immersive virtual reality with a Five-point Likert scale with feedback from anesthesiologist & parents after anesthetic induction.Timepoint: Five minutes after shifting to preoperative area, At the time of anesthetic induction After induction of general anesthesia, After transfer to the PACU
