Abstract: PURPOSE: To explore the effect of parent presence for induction of anesthesia in children receiving oral and maxillofacial surgery. METHODS: One hundred and twenty children receiving oral and maxillofacial surgery were included in this study and divided randomly into two groups. Children in group P received induction of anesthesia with parent presence; while children in group N received induction of anesthesia without parental accompaniment. The children's blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen desaturation and degree of adaptability during induction period of anesthesia were recorded and compared using SPSS 17.0 software package. RESULTS: During induction period of anesthesia, children with parental accompaniment had a more stable heart rate, oxygen desaturation and a better degree of adaptability than those without parent presence. CONCLUSIONS: From our results, parental accompaniment during induction of anesthesia does have positive effect for children receiving oral and maxillofacial surgery.
