Figure 2. Anxiety of the child during the perioperative period. As can be seen, anxiety of the premedication group was significantly lower during both induction 1 (*P = 0.0171) and induction 2 (**P = 0.0176). Induction 1 = entrance to the operating room; induction 2 = introduction of the anesthesia mask to the child; mYPAS = Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale.
