The effects of preoperative anxiety and preemptive analgesia on PAED in children undergoing adenotonsillectomy surgery.

It is known that the frequency of postoperative delirium increases in children with preoperative anxiety.

The Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Inventory (m-YPAS) was developed as a tool to assess children's preoperative anxiety, and m-YPAS≥30 was considered 'anxious'.

Post-Anesthesia Recovery Agitation (PAED) is a self-limiting condition seen in children upon awakening from anesthesia in the first 15-20 minutes.

There are factors such as inhalation agents, preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain in its etiology.
