EFFECT OF PREOPERATIVE ANXIETY ON HAEMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS DURING INDUCTION OF ANAESTHESIA

Abstract

Aim: To evaluate how preoperative anxiety affects hemodynamic parameters in patients who were undergoing surgery and to evaluate for the rise in blood pressure and heart rate in patients with higher preoperative anxiety. Methodology: 60 patients were observed for the hemodynamic changes due to anxiety in preoperative period, before induction and after induction. The anxiety scores were analysed and tabulated. Result: Preoperative anxiety has a significant impact on heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and SpO2 of the study participants. Conclusion: During pre-operative period there is no impact of anxiety on hemodynamic parameters. But before induction there was significant impact of anxiety on heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and SpO2.
