Summary

This study looked at 114 boys aged 2 to 7 having urogenital surgery to see if being very anxious before the operation leads to more pain or confusion after waking up. Researchers measured anxiety right before anesthesia and then tracked pain, delirium, and recovery in the recovery room. The goal was to understand the link between pre-surgery nerves and how kids feel right after surgery, without giving any treatment.
