This study is evaluating music vs midazolam as a means of anxiolysis for preoperative single-shot nerve block placement.
It is a randomized, controlled and prospectively planned observational study.In our study, oral fluid administration 1 hour before surgery in children aged 5-12 years was aimed at preoperative anxiety level as the primary objective; The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects on gastric volume, hemodynamics and blood sugar.The study included 90 paediatric patients aged 5-12 years with ASA score 1-2. Group A (n=30): Standard fasting group. Group S (n=30): A group of patients who were given oral 5 ml/kg (maximum 250 ml) of water 1 hour ago. Group K (n=30): A group of patients who were given an oral 5 ml/kg (maximum 250 ml) carbohydrate rich clear liquid 1 hour ago. All patients were evaluated with the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) before and 1 hour after fluids were administered. After anesthesia, gastric antrum cross-sectional area (GACSA) was measured. Gastric residual volume (GRV) values were calculated. Hemodynamic data, blood sugar levels and parental satisfaction were recorded.
We plan to evaluate the potential of binaural beat stimulation as a cost-effective tool to improve perioperative patient outcome. Preoperative anxiety and postoperative neurocognitive disorders are two major issues patients have to deal with in the perioperative period. In this context, preoperative stress and anxiety are independent risk factors for postoperative neurocognitive disorders. The primary goal of our proposed study therefore is to reduce preoperative anxiety by stimulating patients with binaural beats. As binaural beats might also entrain brainwaves, the secondary goal of the study is to investigate whether binaural beats can induce alpha oscillatory activity during emergence from anesthesia. This type of oscillation has been demonstrated to be protective for postoperative neurocognitive disorders and might therefore complement the effects of preoperative anxiety reduction.
Experiences such as hospitalization, medical or surgical procedures are stressful, complex and threatening, especially for children and their families. Among the first crisis symptoms that children are faced with are illness, hospitalization and surgery anxiety. There is a direct relationship between the fear and anxiety experienced by children and their parents during the pre-operative processes. Therefore, ensuring not only the psychological but also physiological preparation of both the children and their parents before the surgery is of great importance. In the hospital, applying distraction methods appropriate for the age period of children and conveying procedural information to them simultaneously are difficult and challenging. In such situations, in clinical settings, virtual reality technology can be used at any time and place without requiring extra workforce to eliminate or reduce children's fear and anxiety. Virtual reality applications, as a distracting therapeutic method, are a fun, calming, safe, accessible, effective and acceptable intervention that can be used for the management of acute pain, fear and anxiety in pediatric patients. Such applications can affect children visually, aurally and contextually. Because they are different from common distraction methods used by children such as reading books, playing with toys, watching television or movies, playing a two-dimensional video game or game console. Virtual reality (VR) is used to distract children's attention to reduce fear and anxiety before surgery. A VR tour of the operating theater can provide a realistic experience for children. The aim in this study was to investigate the effect of an actual operating theater tour which is watched by children aged 6-12 years wearing a 3D virtual headset on their fear and anxiety.
Perioperative neurocognitive impairment, including postoperative delirium (POD), is common in older patients after anesthesia and surgery and is associated with poorer short- and long-term outcomes, including worsening cognitive decline, surgical Complications, increased risk of hospitalization, and death after cardiac and noncardiac surgery. POD is more common with age, occurs in up to 65% of elderly patients, and increases in patients with mild cognitive impairment. As more and more older adults undergo surgery and anesthesia, POD has become a major global health challenge requiring urgent attention. Prevention strategies involving multidisciplinary perioperative interventions may have some benefit overall, but the impact on POD remains uncertain. Known inflammatory responses may be associated with adverse outcomes such as neurocognitive dysfunction and cancer recurrence after major surgery. Different anesthesia methods, the regulation of anesthesia drugs on postoperative inflammatory response has been confirmed in vitro, but its clinical significance is still unclear. Therefore, exploring the risk factors of inducing POD has important clinical significance for the early prevention of POD. Second, a recent study found that the incidence of POD was significantly higher in patients whose sleep cycle was disturbed during hospitalization. Animal experiments found that after 5 hours of sleep deprivation in adult mice, the number of dendritic spines in CA1 neurons in the hippocampus was reduced, and the length of dendrites was significantly shortened, which damaged the synaptic transmission of the central nervous system, and significantly improved memory and cognitive function. Damaged. And many studies have investigated whether bispectral index (BIS)-guided anesthesia is associated with a reduced risk of POD, compared with "standard-of-care" anesthesia or the use of goal-directed end-tidal volatile agent concentrations, the reasoning is that the use of BIS-guided anesthesia results in less anesthesia exposure, and therefore "light" anesthesia may reduce the incidence of postoperative POD compared to "deep" anesthesia. However, this conclusion is still controversial. The study of Anshentong et al. has confirmed that deep anesthesia with BIS maintained at 40-49 can delay postoperative recovery time, reduce the level of inflammatory factors and the incidence of early postoperative cognitive impairment, and reduce the incidence of early postoperative cognitive impairment. Brain damage. Therefore, although age is known to be the main correlative factor for POD, different depths of anesthesia may cause different stress responses in patients, resulting in different release of inflammatory factors. An additional risk factor may be preoperative psychiatric symptoms, and assessment of mental status is often overshadowed by concerns about multiple comorbidities in older adults. Anxiety disorders are one of the prominent psychiatric symptoms in older adults. very common. Preoperative anxiety is defined as an unpleasant restless or tense state secondary to patient concerns about illness, hospitalization, anesthesia, surgery, or the unknown. Studies on the relationship between preoperative anxiety and POD also vary in consistency due to the characteristics of different populations. Many of the current studies are mostly single-center with limited sample size, which may have a certain bias in the conclusions. Therefore, the investigators designed and planned to conduct a multi-center, large-sample cohort study to determine the impact of perioperative related factors and inflammatory markers on elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac major surgery .
Many patients before the operation feel a high level of anxiety. This felt anxiety can develop due to many reasons such as anesthesia, not being able to wake up from the surgery and being disabled, and fear of feeling pain after the surgery. Music applications, which are among non-pharmacological techniques, are frequently used in the management of pain and anxiety.In this study, the effect of listening to music in the preoperative period on the anxiety of urology patients will be investigated
As a very threatening stressor, surgery often leads to strong psychological stress reactions in surgical patients before surgery, the most typical of which is anxiety. According to previous studies, more than 60% of children have severe anxiety during induction of anesthesia. Preoperative anxiety in children is not only significantly related to postoperative adverse physiological and psychological changes such as delirium during recovery from anesthesia, postoperative pain, and sleep disturbance, but also has a serious negative impact on their future study and life (such as timidity, nocturia, etc.), even for several years. Moreover, if the child is uncooperative, crying violently, and refuses to enter the operating room due to preoperative psychological stress, coercive measures are often adopted in clinical practice, which can easily cause harm to the physical and mental health of the child. Therefore, effective interventions to reduce pre-operative anxiety in children is an urgent need. At present, most researches adopt different interventions to improve the preoperative anxiety of children. Several studies have explored to the efficacy of psychological interventions and virtual reality exposure in reducing preoperative anxiety in children undergoing surgery,results suggest that these interventions can reduce preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain in children. Through toys and video games, researchers verified the effects of psychological preparation on perioperative stress, anxiety, and mood in children undergoing cardiac surgery. In addition, researchers also conducted specialized games, interest induction, childlike and diversified nursing methods to relieve preoperative anxiety in children. Although these interventions have achieved certain effects, the intervention strategies need professionals accompanied and special arrangements, there also exist problems such as time-consuming, labor-intensive, and limited audience, especially during the peak operation period. Attention distraction is an emotion regulation strategy commonly used in daily life, which actively separates the individual's attention from negative emotions and points to neutral or positive stimuli. Music and animation are the most common and affordable distraction strategies to reduce preoperative anxiety in children, but their effects are inconsistent. It is worth noting that Chow believe that the effect of the combination of audio and video is better than that of music intervention. Moreover, previous studies confirmed that when a mental image is experienced, there is an associated emotion that connects the feeling state with the mind and body leading to a physiologic change. Therefore, this study intends to use two distraction strategies (music and animation) in pediatric surgery patients to compare the effects of the two strategies on preoperative anxiety, anesthesia induction cooperation, vital signs, and to explore effective methods to improve preoperative anxiety in children. This study was a randomized controlled trial according to the CONSORT guidelines.Researchers recruited child patients(3-12 years) from a general tertiary hospital in Changsha, Hunan province, China. Researchers divided the subjects into three groups, animation group, music group and control group. The 181 patients recruited were randomized into three groups. Instruments, including preoperative anxiety,the degree of cooperation of children during anesthesia induction ,heart rate and blood pressure were assessed at the three moments: before entering the operating room (baseline T0), entering the operating room(T1), and before induction of anesthesia(T2). The repeated-measures analysis of variance were used to analyze the data.
