Patients' Ramsey Sedation Scale (RSS), The Parental Seperation Anxiety Scale (PSAS), Mask Acceptance Scale (MAS) and Post anesthesia emergence delirium scale (PAEDS) and hemodynamic parameters were noted from their patient file. Premedication period was 45 minutes and measurements of RSS and hemodynamic parameters were recorded in baseline and every 15 minutes until the patients were transferred to the operating room.
