The first goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety between anxiolysis by multimedia-distraction with an IPAD versus anxiolysis by premedication with midazolam prior to the induction. Secondly to evaluate the need for midazolam-premedication in pediatric day-care patients induced by inhalational anesthesia.
Perioperative anxiety in children is a common multifactorial influenced and triggered entity with an incidence as high as 50%. Especially (mask)induction of anesthesia is considered one of the most stressful experiences for a child undergoing surgery. A common practice worldwide to diminish the level of anxiety prior to anesthesia is premedication with the benzodiazepine midazolam in order to improve cooperation during induction. Premedication with midazolam has a primary purpose to reduce preoperative anxiety and has inherent to a benzodiazepine its sedative effects. Although these effects are implied, negative effects of premedication: respiratory complications, paradoxical negative behavior has been reported. Although alternative medications have been studied, studies for non-pharmacological anxiety-reduction remain limited. Non-pharmacological anxiety-reduction by distraction including Tablet or IPAD-multimedia might be a readily available alternative for midazolam premedication. Potentially limiting the use of psychoactive agents, limiting the need for preoperative sedation and therefore possibly decrease secondary respiratory complications in pediatric surgical day-care. Objective: The first goal of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety between anxiolysis by multimedia-distraction with an IPAD versus anxiolysis by premedication with midazolam prior to the mask-induction of anesthesia. Secondly to evaluate the need for midazolam premedication in pediatric day-care surgery patients induced by inhalational anesthesia.

RECRUITINGAnxiety level at induction
Measured bij Short version modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale(mYPAS-SF), scoring activity 1-4/4, vocalizations 1-6/6, emotional expressivity 1-4/4, state of apparent arousal 1-4/4, parental use 1-4/4, subtotal is the sum of all the individual scores divided by their number of choices, mYpas-SF total score is subtotal/5 \* 100 and therefore a score between 23,3-100 Scored prior moment of mask induction (T2)
Time frame: Directly prior to induction of anesthesia, 20 minutes
Anesthesiologist Satisfaction Induction
Satisfactory Score for Induction/Anesthesia: 5 point scale: Very satisfactory, Satisfactory, Neutral, Unsatisfactory and Very satisfactory Scored in the OR directly post induction
Time frame: During induction of anesthesia 10 minutes

Time frame: Leaving daycare, 10 minutes
Anxiety level at holding
Measured bij Short version modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale(mYPAS-SF), scoring activity 1-4/4, vocalizations 1-6/6, emotional expressivity 1-4/4, state of apparent arousal 1-4/4, parental use 1-4/4, subtotal is the sum of all the individual scores divided by their number of choices, mYpas-SF total score is subtotal/5 \* 100 and therefore a score between 23,3-100 Scored at holding (T1) 10 minutes after arrival
Time frame: On holding, 20 minutes
Anxiety level at recovery
Measured bij Short version modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale(mYPAS-SF), scoring activity 1-4/4, vocalizations 1-6/6, emotional expressivity 1-4/4, state of apparent arousal 1-4/4, parental use 1-4/4, subtotal is the sum of all the individual scores divided by their number of choices, mYpas-SF total score is subtotal/5 \* 100 and therefore a score between 23,3-100 Scored at recovery (T3) 15 minutes after awake
Time frame: 15 minutes after awake, 30 minutes
