Summary
This study tests whether showing an interactive movie to children ages 2-6 during the start of anesthesia can lower their anxiety. About 70 kids having planned surgery will either get the movie distraction or standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety levels using a special scale to see if the technology helps kids stay calmer.
