Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Anxiety reduction in Group 2 patients, measured by the Spielberger Trait-State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE). It is expected to find a results comparable with the number found in a previous meta-analysis that showed an anxiety reduction in 69%. For intergroup comparison the t-Test will be used for unpaired samples. To compare the differences within the same group, we will use the analysis of variance for continuous variables with symmetric distribution (A-NOVA), with Newman-Keuls post-test for multiple comparisons. The critical level of significance will be 5%. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Decreased use of sedative and analgesic drugs in patients in group 2. Sedation dose will be uniform for all patients enrolled in the study. Additional doses required by patients will be recorded to verify sedation needs comparison intergroups. | — |
