Detailed Description

A lot of observationnal studies describe parental stressors in Paediatric Intensive care Unit, but none studied, prospectively, the links between medical equipment removal or insertion and anxiety modulation.

Parents will fill out questionnaire upon arrival in the Intensive care unit when reaching the bedside of their hospitalized child right after the elective cardiac surgery. Then after each equipment removal or insertion they will be asked to fill out again the same questionaire.
