What this trial is about
This study is designed to evaluate the effect of technology as a distraction technique during anesthetic induction in children, starting from their arrival to the operating room. An interactive film will be displayed using a projector (BERT: Bedside Entertaining and Relaxation Tool) mounted on a whiteboard in front of the child's gurney. The primary outcome is perioperative anxiety, measured with the Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mYPAS).
