Abstract

Background: Preoperative anxiety is one of the leading causes of morbidity in the perioperative period. Quality of Recovery (QoR)is a recent and valid questionnaire to assess recovery process in this time.

Methods: Ninety patients were visited by an anaesthetist twice in the preoperative period, by either the same or a different anaesthetist. The effect of the visits was evaluated on the basis of preoperative anxiety, and QoR.

Results: The mean APAIS (Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale) result for the group with visits from different anaesthetists was significantly higher when compared to the group which received visits from the same anaesthetist (16.09 [14.51 to 17.67]) vs (12.40 [10.82 to 13.98]) (p = 0.002). However, time taken to discharge, QoR, and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain score were not significantly affected by the intervention.

Conclusion: Providing preoperative visits by the same anaesthetist may considerably lower preoperative anxiety.

评估和比较相同麻醉师和不同麻醉师对术前访视、术前焦虑和恢复质量的影响：一项随机对照试验。

背景：术前焦虑是围手术期发病率的主要原因之一。恢复质量（QoR）是一种最新的有效问卷，用于评估这段时间的恢复过程。方法：90例患者术前两次由同一麻醉师或不同麻醉师访视。根据术前焦虑程度和QoR对访视效果进行评估。结果：不同麻醉师就诊组的APAIS （Amsterdam术前焦虑与信息量表）平均分明显高于同一麻醉师就诊组（16.09[14.51 ~ 17.67]）和（12.40 [10.82 ~ 13.98]）（p = 0.002）。然而，出院时间、QoR和数字评定量表（NRS）疼痛评分没有受到干预的显著影响。结论：由同一麻醉师进行术前访视可显著降低术前焦虑。
