    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Psychology
    • Psychophysiology

    Context:

    • Investigated psychological and psychophysiological correlations to anesthesiologically important factors.
    • Focused on preoperative emotions such as anxiety, depression, and asthenia as key components of the stress response.

    Purpose:

    • To identify factors correlated with preoperative emotions.
    • To examine the relationship between these emotions and physiological parameters relevant to anesthesia.

    Summary:

    • Preoperative emotional stress is influenced by sex, age, prior anesthesia experience, and chronic illness, with cancer suspicion heightening anxiety.
    • The preoperative psychological state correlates with blood pressure, heart rate, cortisol levels, and anesthesia complications.
    • Identified two psychophysiological risk groups: poor and good psychological states, with the mean group showing the best prognosis.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the link between psychological state and physiological responses during anesthesia.
    • Suggests that assessing preoperative emotions can aid in risk stratification and patient management.
    • Provides insights into managing anesthesia for patients experiencing emotional distress.
