Investigation of the effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative delirium in children who will undergo circumcision operation
Observe the effects of reading an informative story book on preoperative anxiety and maternal anxiety
Preoperative anxiety is frequently experienced by children undergoing anaesthesia and surgery and being separated from parents during the operation. It is associated with a significant number of adverse outcomes such as maladaptive behavioural changes and increased postoperative analgesic requirements. Pharmacological interventions such as midazolam are widely used to decrease preoperative anxiety in children. However, premedication may be associated with undesirable effects such as paradoxical reactions, prolonged sedation and adverse behavioural changes.The aim of this study is to develop and use a serious game, HospiAvontuur, which can be used during the preparation of children for an admission at the hospital. By using this game the researchers aim to reduce the usage of pharmacological interventions and to increase the use of non-pharmacological interventions, such as HospiAvontuur.
Can music listening decrease a patient's anxiety before surgery? The investigators hypothesize that music listening will decrease a patient's pre-operative anxiety significantly more than no music listening. The investigators aim to see if additional variables affect a patient's anxiety and response to music listening, such as demographic factors (age, race, prior surgical experience, type of surgery planned) and music background (experience playing a musical instrument, music listening habits). The investigators also aim to see if pre-operative music listening is associated with improved patient satisfaction.
Compare the effects of pharmacological and nonpharmacological premedications on preoperative anxiety and mask acceptance after adenotonsillectomy
Assessment of how Lavender oil reduces preoperative anxiety and subsequently influences requirement of induction agents for general anesthesia.
Pre-operative anxiety usually lead to increased anesthetics during the surgery. The precise sedative requirement which can keep adequate sedative state and avoid adverse effects caused by excessive drugs still needs further study. Therefore, our purpose was to confirm the sedative effect of butorphanol and to explore the relationship between pre-operative anxiety and intra-operative butorphanol requirement to evaluate the precise sedative requirement which can keep adequate sedation for patients by pre-operative anxiety score.
