Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Interrelations among children, parents, premedication, and anaesthetists in paediatric day stay surgery.
To investigate the incidence of difficulties associated with parental presence during the induction of anaesthesia in children and the influence of premedication with special reference to vomiting after papaveretum. ⋯ Difficulties with parents in anaesthetic rooms were not common or severe. Premedication provides preoperative sedation and papaveretum improves the immediate postoperative course but the incidences of nausea and vomiting after operation are higher with its use than without.
