Assessment of Fears of Patients Standing at the Operating Block

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The term "outpatient" refers to all the medical, organizational and administrative care that allows the patient to leave the same day the structure where the ambulatory procedure was performed. The usual rule for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery or surgery under general anesthesia is to transport them to the endoscopy or operating room lying on a stretcher, even if they can walk independently. In recent years, the procedure of bringing the patient standing in the operating room seems to have many advantages. It is readily accepted by patients and may even lessen their anxiety. Nevertheless, reluctance and fears are sometimes expressed by patients who do not know this new procedure. Our team has introduced this procedure for patients admitted to the ambulatory hospitalization sector and to join the endoscopy sector. The aim of our work is therefore to objectify the fears expressed by patients who have to go to the endoscopy room before general anesthesia and to evaluate their progress after endoscopy

Clinical Trial Description

Nowadays, the procedure of the patient standing in the operating room or in endoscopy has become frequent in the outpatient management of patients. Indeed the advantages are numerous: better fluidity of the patient circuits to the block, reduction of the stress of the operated one etc. Yet some patients might experience fears. Thus, in order to improve our practice, we want to take into account your experience with this innovative procedure. To determine patients' fears concerning their endoscopic standing before general anesthesia and to evaluate their evolution after this first experience After your installation in the preoperative area, we submit a questionnaire that corresponds to the first part of the document and then accompanied by a hospital agent you will walk towards the entrance to the endoscopy room. These questions are about your possible fears and your degree of anxiety. After an endoscopy under general anesthesia, you will be taken back to your stretcher room where you will complete the second part of the questionnaire which deals with the same topics as the questions asked before the endoscopy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
