Introduction: Preoperative anxiety is prevalent among surgical patients and is associated with adverse perioperative outcomes. Intraoperative hemodynamic stability is crucial for patient safety, but the impact of preoperative anxiety on perioperative physiology is not well understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship between preoperative anxiety levels and intraoperative hemodynamic stability in elective surgery patients. Materials and Methods:This prospective observational study recruited 200 adult patients scheduled for elective surgery. Preoperative anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters were monitored continuously, and logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of hemodynamic instability. Results:Participants exhibited moderate preoperative anxiety levels, with significant variability. Intraoperative hemodynamic parameters showed fluctuations, with higher anxiety levels correlating with increased instability. Logistic regression revealed preoperative anxiety as a significant predictor of instability, independent of other variables. Conclusion:Higher preoperative anxiety levels are associated with increased intraoperative hemodynamic instability. Addressing preoperative anxiety is essential for enhancing perioperative care and improving surgical outcomes. Further research is needed to explore intervention strategies and long-term effects.
