Arm Description
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Anxiety Level
Comparison of the level of anxiety as measured by The Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale - Short Form (mYPAS-SF) at the time when the child checks in at the front desk (say mYPAS-SF1), with when the attempt will be made to insert an IV line (say mYPAS-SF2). This scale is a score ranging from four (little anxiety) to twenty two (much anxiety).
Safety - Hemodynamic stability
The systolic and diastolic blood pressures will be measured when the subject enters the recovery room, and then each ten minutes until the subject goes into the MRI suite and general anesthesia is induced.
Safety - Respiratory function
The respiratory rate will be measured when the subject enters the recovery room, and then each ten minutes until the subject goes into the MRI suite and general anesthesia is induced.
Oxygen saturation
The SpO2 will be measured when the subject enters the recovery room, and then each ten minutes until the subject goes into the MRI suite and general anesthesia is induced.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Visual Analog Scale for child anxiety
The VAS will be measured when the subject enters the recovery room and when IV cannulation is performed
IV cannulation procedure completion and number of attempts - yes or no
This will be measured when the IV cannulation procedure is successful or not
Likert scale assessment of how cooperative/easy to handle the child
This will be measured when the IV cannulation is completed
Assessment of the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED-scale) for the subjects
This measurement will assess the emergence delirium of the participants when they have completed the MRI under general anesthesia - every 10 minutes until discharge from recovery room
Post Hospitalization Behavior Questionnaire for Ambulatory Surgery
A two day post assessment will be completed by interviewing the parents about changes in behavior derived from the questionnaire
