Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of virtual reality glasses on anxiety of the patients who underwent operations under spinal anesthesia during peroperative period. Both control group and VR group will be carry out STAI- Traıt anxiety test before operation and trait test after operation. Patients will be perform spinal anesthesia after standard sedation administration. After block reach adequate level for operation patients in VR group will wear the glasses and started to watch a documentary about birds and a sedative music by the headset. Patients in Control group will take standard anesthesia care. Hemodynamic changes (systemic blood pressure, heart rate, respiration rate and pSPO2) will be record in both groups.

Detailed description

The ASA score I-III Patients undergoing operation in OR under spinal anesthesia will be included in the study. Patients randomly assigned to VR group or Control Group. Patients will be carry out STAI-Trait Anxiety test preoperatively and second STAI test postoperatively. Spinal anesthesia will be performed after standard iv midazolam administration in both groups. After block reach adequate level for operation patient will wear the glasses and started to watch a documentary about birds and a sedative music by the headset in VR group and patient will take standard anesthesia care in Control group. The hemodynamic variables will be recorded during operation.
