Effects of Video-Guided Preoperative Simulation Training on Negative Postoperative Behavioral Changes in Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Anaesthesia, critical care & pain medicine·September 22, 2026·PMID 42772415
Why it mattersNegative postoperative behavioral changes are common in children and can affect emotional and cognitive development. This trial demonstrates that a simple, low-cost preoperative simulation intervention can substantially reduce these changes and improve perioperative psychological outcomes, offering anesthesiologists a feasible nonpharmacological strategy to enhance pediatric perioperative care.
