Parental presence during anesthesia induction in children

Stacy L Romino et al. AORN J. 2005 Apr.

Abstract

Family-centered care has become a popular topic in pediatric nursing and, therefore, is becoming an important part of both nursing anesthesia and perioperative nursing. Currently, few hospitals involve parents in pediatric surgery, even though the presence of a parent for pediatric anesthesia induction is strongly supported in the literature. This article reviews the literature regarding the effect on children and parents of parental presence during induction of pediatric anesthesia. Suggestions for appropriate parent-preparation techniques also are provided.
