Half of the patients patients will be accompanied with their ownselected parent and the other half will be accompanied with their favorite toy in addition to their own selected parent.

Detailed description

To reduce the incidence of preoperative anxiety in children, anesthesiologists have used a number of prevention strategies, including sedative premedication, parental presence during anesthetic induction, behavioral preparation programs, music therapy, hypnosis, and acupuncture.One of these distraction tool is familiar toy, children may also be comforted by familiar toys. Therefore, parent presence during perioperative period or playing with a favorite toy seems likely to alleviate preoperative anxiety in children. Until now, combination of these two method to reduce anxiety is not observed in literature. Then, the aim of this observational study is to evaluate the effect of both presence of favorite toy and parental presence compare to only parental presence during perioperative period on anxiety and emergence delirium in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery in our hospital's otorhinolaryngology department.
