Anesthetizing a frightened, screaming child is in many cases a difficult task.

Children are afraid of the unknown environment and are unprepared to encounter foreign and strange people, dressed in unusual cloths, who try to separate him/her from his/her own parents.
 

The phenomenon of pre-operative anxiety is very frequent and represents a serious problem for the pediatric anesthesiologist and the operating room team.

The stress produced by struggling with the child in the operating room, and forcing him to accept one or another method of anesthesia induction could lead to a post-traumatic stress syndrome, sometime very difficult to treat.
 

Easyhale^TM can assist children, parents, and anesthesiologists for a far smother process. The main idea is to give the child the chance to get accustomed to the device few days before the planned anesthesia and surgery. The child is supposed to gradually consider this device as something to which he/she is already accustomed. He is to be encouraged to breathe through the mask and have at the same time the pacifier in his mouth. 
Thus, connecting the mask to an anesthesia circuit, not necessarily in the operating room but also (or mainly) in the pre-anesthetic room, while the child is kept in the hands of one of the parents and still having the mask on his/her face, proves to be an easy and efficient way to induce inhalatory anesthesia.
 

Easyhale^TM is supposed to abolish the use of the so-called "gorilla technique" of anesthesia induction, during which three or four adults force the child to lay still down and accept the anesthetic mask.
 

It can also be used for oxygen delivery procedures which are a frequent after an operation.
