[Clinical observation of preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain after endoscopic sinus surgery]
Objective:
To investigate the correlation of preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain after endoscopic sinus surgery in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with or without nasal polyps (CRSwNP or CRSsNP).
Method:
Subjects were 167 adults scheduled for functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS),in our hospital. preoperative issuing State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI), carried anxiety scores. 8 h, 32 h, 56 h after surgery, recorded the pain score of Wong-Banker facial scale method (FPS-R). Analysed the correlation between preoperative anxiety score and the degree of postoperative pain.
Result:
Patients'preoperative S-AI mean score was 42. 45 ± 9. 98, T-AI mean score was 41. 81±8. 47. The mean pain score in patients 8 h after surgery was 6. 33±1. 74,32 h was 4.21±1.51, 56 h was 2.35±1.42. In the 8 h group postoperative pain were 0 cases with no pain, 10 cases of mild pain, moderate pain in 107 cases, 47 cases of severe pain, sharp pain in three cases. After 32 hours 9 cases with no pain, 97 cases of mild pain, moderate pain in 32 cases, 29 cases of severe pain, no sharp pain patients. 56 hours after surgery, there were 108 cases with no pain, mild pain in 44 cases, 15 cases of moderate pain. Preoperative S-AI and T-AI score and 8 h, 32 h, 56 h after surgery pain score had no significant correlation.
Conclusion:
The pain of patients within 8 h after FESS is most evident,with the passage of time, the degree of pain gradually reduced. Preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain have no significant correlation.
