Brief summary

Anxiety is a phenomenon that frequently occurs before surgery. Preoperative anxiety has been studied in several disciplines, including rheumatology, anesthesia, stomatology and cardiology. The implications of preoperative anxiety in terms of morbidity and mortality have also been studied and are well known: intraoperative hemodynamic disorders, increased postoperative mortality, increased consumption of anesthetic agents. Several scales have been developed to quantify preoperative anxiety, the most frequently used being the visual analog scale and the Amsterdam scale. Several approaches have been considered to reduce preoperative anxiety, such as hypnosis, music, or multimedia. However, no consensus tool has been developed for vascular surgery patients. Similarly, no study has examined preoperative anxiety in this specific population. The aim of this study is to evaluate a new multimedia information medium for vascular surgery patients and to assess its effectiveness in reducing preoperative anxiety.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of the evolution of preoperative anxiety in patients with access to multimedia with the help of a numerical scale compared to the group of patients without multimedia supportDay 0 ; Day 1 ; Day before the surgeryThe patient rates his anxiety between 0 and 10: 0 no anxiety; 10 maximum anxiety

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Assessment of satisfaction with the multimedia support using a 4-point scale: 1) Very satisfied ; 2) Satisfied ; 3) Not very satisfied ; 4) Not satisfiedDay before the surgery
