Brief summary

During the anesthesia outpatient consultation, patients proposed for minor abdominal surgery, known hypertensive patients are selected. On the day of the procedure, we check the blood pressure figures. If the numbers are high: SBP ≥ 180 and/or PAD≥110: we start by a filling as well as a dose of 1 mg Midazolam IV and the blood pressure figures are re-evaluated. If 3 measurements blood pressure figures remain above the threshold values: Surgery is postponed and the patient will be included to group (A) for canceled. If the blood pressure figures are correct, the surgery is accepted and the patient will be included in the group (NA) for not canceled.

Detailed description

During the anesthesia outpatient consultation, patients proposed for minor abdominal surgery, known hypertensive patients are selected. If the blood pressure figures are balanced in the previous 12 months, they are included in the study and the anesthesiologist informs them of the study protocol and obtains their consent. On the day of the procedure, the patient is admitted to the operating room. We begin warming the patient and carry out standard monitoring, then, we check the blood pressure figures. If the numbers are high: SBP ≥ 180 and/or PAD≥110: we start by a filling as well as a dose of 1 mg Midazolam IV and the blood pressure figures are re-evaluated. If 3 measurements blood pressure figures remain above the threshold values: Surgery is postponed and the patient will be included to group (A) for canceled. If the blood pressure figures are correct, the surgery is accepted and the patient will be included in the group (NA) for not canceled.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of surgery canceled due to high blood pressure figures in the operating room.In the operating roomIn the operating room, if the blood pressure figures are high(according to BHS recommendations from 2016) the surgery is canceled

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Score d'anxiété: Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS)before entering the operating roomThe APAIS scale is presented in the form of a questionnaire composed of six questions, the first three of which assess the patient's anxiety relating to anesthesia, the following two assess the patient's anxiety relating to surgery, and finally a last question assesses the patient's desire for information. The minimum score is 6 and the maximum is 20. If the score is greater than 11, this means that the patient's level of anxiety is high
The quality of reception in the operating roombefore entering the operating roomPatient satisfaction: Bad/average/good
History of cancellation for hypertension in the operating roomPre-operative, at the anesthesia consultationpresence or absence of a history of cancellation for high blood pressure figures
specify the anti-hypertension moleculePre-operative, at the anesthesia consultationthe antihypertensive molecule taken by the patient as background treatment
Control and monitoring of hypertension Control and monitoring of hypertension Control and monitoring of hypertensionDuring the pre-anesthesia consultationThe patient is followed-up in town: by a general practitioner or a cardiologist
