The Study Evaluates the Effect of an Interactive Projector as a Distraction for Children During Anesthetic Induction. The Primary Objective is to Reduce Perioperative Anxiety, Measured With the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS).

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of technology as a distraction technique during anesthetic induction in children, starting from their arrival to the operating room. An interactive film will be displayed using a projector (BERT: Bedside Entertaining and Relaxation Tool) mounted on a whiteboard in front of the child's gurney. The primary outcome is perioperative anxiety, measured with the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS).
