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.
To construct and evaluate an immersive 3D simulation to familiarize patients with the pre-operative experience, and investigate whether A) immersive 3D virtual reality video can reduce pre-operative anxiety, and B) how this approach compares to current practice of viewing traditional educational videos.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact on preoperative anxiety of an education and information program conducted prior to non-urgent coronary angiography performed in patients hospitalized at the Nîmes University Hospital.
Background: This study was designed to investigate the effect of sedation on the occurrence of maternal hypotension in preoperatively anxious parturients undergoing urgent category-1 Cesarean section (C/S) under spinal anesthesia. Methods: After institutional ethics committee approval, prospectively collected data of 1824 parturients undergoing C/S were reviewed. Parturients with high preoperative anxiety scores (visual analogue scale for anxiety (VAS-A)≥70) undergoing C/S under spinal anesthesia with thiopental (Group S=49) and without any other type of sedation (Group NS=53) were included in the analysis. Hemodynamic parameters were documented and maximum systolic arterial pressure (SAP) reductions from the baseline after spinal anesthesia were calculated. Incidences of hypotension (SAP≥30% decrease from baseline or <100 mmHg) and bradycardia (HR<55 beats/min), and related-ephedrine and -atropine requirements were noted. Our primary endpoint was to compare the maximum SAP reductions from the baseline values in Groups S and NS. Secondary endpoints were incidences of hypotension and bradycardia, required ephedrine and atropine doses, newborn Apgar scores at 1st and 5th min.
When presenting for elective surgery, patient's often do not completely understand the role that the anesthesiology team plays in their care. In 1999, the American Medical Association (AMA) found that health literacy was a stronger predictor of a person's health than age, income, education level and race. It is very important that the investigators provide information to patients on the role of anesthesiologists in their care before, during, and after the surgery as it has been shown to improve patient anxiety and overall satisfaction.
Children can experience high levels of anxiety immediately prior to surgery. In fact, this can be the most stressful part of the whole surgical experience for children. Anxiety before surgery is associated with problems after surgery; such as short-term increased need for pain medication and long-term sleep disturbances or behaviour change. Child Life, a program run in some North American children's hospitals has developed ways to reduce children's anxiety prior to surgery. These techniques can include role-play or story books amongst others. In this study, the investigators aim to look at the benefits of the Child Life techniques on anxiety levels of children and their caregivers just prior to receiving anesthesia in the operating room. The study will include children between the ages of 3 and 10 years old, needing day case surgery lasting less than 2 hours, and having never had surgery before. They will be randomly allocated to either not receive any intervention by Child Life or to receive Child Life intervention in the period prior to their surgery, when they are waiting in the Surgical Day Care Unit. Anxiety levels of the children and their caregivers will be measured as they arrive in the hospital and immediately prior to anesthesia, to see if there is a lower level of anxiety in the group receiving the Child Life intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a video shown using an iPad, compared to a standard treatment, to reduce preoperative anxiety in children who have to undergo to elective surgery procedure
Proportion of patients in study group(preprint preoperative anesthetic risk should have more anxiety, more knowledge, and more cancellation than controlled group
