[Allowing parents to enter the recovery room].

At Necker-Enfants malades hospital, the presence of the parents alongside the child during the immediate postoperative period has been allowed and encouraged for a number of years. In order to standardise the practices in terms of allowing parents to enter post-anaesthetic recovery rooms, nurses have drawn up a procedure to follow. In parallel, a study and a satisfaction survey have been carried out in order to measure the benefits of this approach for parents and for the child undergoing the operation.
