The Effects of Preoperative Prayer on Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing Thyroidectomy

The Effects of Preoperative Prayer on Postoperative Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing Thyroidectomy

physiological end-point, incidence of adverse events, and changes in psychological status.

In the past, physiological goals, major morbidity and mortality were used as indicators of recovery after surgery. However, major morbidity and mortality rates were extremely low due to the development of surgery and anesthesia techniques, and measurements of these indicators do not adequately reflect postoperative recovery. On the other hand, the measurement of the patient's health status or quality of life has become an important metric in many clinical studies. The Quality of Recovery 40 Questionnaire (QoR-40) is a multidimensional tool that specifically assesses and develops anesthetic and postoperative health conditions. Severance Hospital is conducting an anesthesiologist-led prayer for the patient only for the desired patient before anesthesia. Although it may be expected that this preoperative airway may improve the quality of recovery after anesthesia / surgery by reducing patient anxiety, there is no objective study on this. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative preoperative airway on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. I want to see. In addition, we will investigate whether preoperative airway affects sympathetic nervous system during surgery.
