There are few studies about restlessness and awakening of children\nduring recovering from anesthesia accompanied by parents. Only one related\nstudy was retrieved in China. The purpose of this study is to investigate\nthe effect of awakening, agitation and pain level in children after tonsillectomy\naccompanied by their parents. Methods: Children who met the inclusion\ncriteria were randomly divided into experimental group and control group\naccording to coin tossing method. There were 30 cases in the experimental\ngroup and 32 in the control group. The control group received routine nursing\nwhile the experimental group was given parental presence on the basis of\nroutine nursing. Steward awakening score, Pediatric anesthesia emergence\ndelirium (PAED), Scale and FLACC pain assessment scale were used to evaluate\nthe children when they entered anesthesia recovery room and awaked\nrespectively. Results: There was no significant difference in the scoring of\nthree scales between the two groups when they entered anesthesia recovery\nroom (P > 0.05). There was significant difference in Steward awakening score\nand PAED scale between the two groups when they came to recovery room (P\n< 0.05), but there was no significant difference in FLACC pain score between\nthe two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Parental presence can improve the\nrecovery effect and reduce the restlessness of children after operation. Our\nstudy suggests that anesthetic children should be accompanied by their parents\nin the future.
