Core Tip Randomized evidence does not support unstructured parental presence during anesthesia induction as a consistently effective substitute for sedative premedication. More structured forms of parental involvement, including active participation, coaching, multimodal preparation, or virtual contact, appear more promising but are supported by limited and heterogeneous evidence. This review, therefore, separates evidence-based findings from an author-derived implementation framework. The proposed pathway should be read as a practical template for local adaptation and future evaluation, not as a validated clinical guideline.
