Intervention  Comparison of Anxiety scores with or without parental presence and its correlation with stress biomarkers during induction of anaesthesia in children undergoing ophthalmic procedures  Comparison of Anxiety scores with or without parental presence and its correlation with stress biomarkers during induction of anaesthesia in children undergoing ophthalmic procedures 
Comparator Agent  Group N-The children in Group “N” will be separated from their parent at the preoperative waiting area and shifted to OR by anaesthesia resident  After detailed pre anaesthetic check-up and relevant investigations, an informed consent will be taken from the parents and assent from children more than 7 years. Anxiety score of the parent and the child will also be noted in the waiting area by state trait anxiety inventory (STAI) and Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale respectively. Salivary and blood samples will be collected in pre-operative waiting area in morning for baseline markers in all children in parental presence. Blood sample will be collected while securing the intravenous cannula to avoid additional invasive intervention. Randomisation of the children would be done using computer generated instructions on the day of procedure.The children in group “N” will be separated from their parent at the preoperative waiting area and shifted to OR by anaesthesia resident.In the OR, child will be given toy to hold, the standard monitors [electrocardiograph (ECG), pulse oximeter (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2)] would be attached and baseline heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean) will be noted. Anxiety will be measured by Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale on the operating table after placing mask over face of children.Anaesthesia will be induced with sevoflurane, oxygen and air.After induction, blood and salivary sample of the child will be again collected.Parent anxiety score will be noted by state trait anxiety inventory (STAI).Airway will be secured with appropriate size supraglottic airway device (SGAD).  
Comparator Agent  Group P-Children in group “P” will stay with their parent from pre-operative waiting area to operating room (OR)  After detailed pre anaesthetic check-up and relevant investigations, an informed consent will be taken from the parents and assent from children more than 7 years. Anxiety score of the parent and the child will also be noted in the waiting area by state trait anxiety inventory (STAI) and Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale respectively. Salivary and blood samples will be collected in pre-operative waiting area in morning for baseline markers in all children in parental presence. Blood sample will be collected while securing the intravenous cannula to avoid additional invasive intervention. Randomisation of the children would be done using computer generated instructions on the day of procedure.Children in group “P” will stay with their parent from pre-operative waiting area to operating room (OR). In the OR, child will be given toy to hold, the standard monitors [electrocardiograph (ECG), pulse oximeter (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2)] would be attached and baseline heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (systolic, diastolic and mean) will be noted. Anxiety will be measured by Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale on the operating table after placing mask over face of children. Anaesthesia will be induced with sevoflurane, oxygen and air. After induction parent will be accompanied to waiting area and anxiety score will be noted by state trait anxiety inventory (STAI). After induction, blood and salivary sample of the child will be again collected. Airway will be secured with appropriate size supraglottic airway device (SGAD)

Brief Summary  

Preoperative anxiety in children is a significant and challenging problem. Although all children are vulnerable, preschool children and toddlers 1 to 6 years seem to be most vulnerable [1]. Studies have demonstrated an association between preoperative anxiety and adverse postoperative clinical outcomes, such as emergence delirium, increased analgesic requirements, and negative behavioural changes (e.g. bed-wetting, altered appetite, sleep disturbance and separation anxiety) [1-3].In order to diminish the anxiety during induction period, some methods have been studied before, including parental presence and premedication. However, a consensus has not been obtained in the literature about this issue. Parental presence is suggested to decrease level of anxiety of the children during induction period. However some studies have shown the conflicting results due to anxious parents unable to support their child during induction.ED was first described in 1960s with the incidence varies from 2% to 80%[4].Primary Objective-Effect on child’s anxiety scores with and without parental presence during induction of anaesthesia,Secondary Objectives-Effect of Parental presence on stress biomarkers(cortisol, Chromogranin, and melatonin ) during induction of anaesthesia with and without parental presence during induction of anaesthesia,Effect of parental presence on the incidence of emergence delirium,Parental anxiety score and to correlate the serum levels of cortisol, Chromogranin, and melatonin with salivary levels in presence and absence of parent during induction of anaesthesia.Study design-Prospective randomised controlled trial Sample size -  Estimated mean (SD) of anxiety score after induction of general anaesthesia was 59.8. We hypothesize that 20% reduction in anxiety score l will be clinically significant. To detect 20% reduction in anxiety score with 80% power and alpha of 0.05, at least 44 children will be required in each group. Hence, n=88  children will be recruited in this study.Anesthesiologist who are not an investigator of the study will collect all outcome dataand will be tabulated in Microsoft excel data sheet and analyzed by SPSS software.
