Summary

This is a monocentric, prospective, before-and-after, open-label controlled study, two groups of 99 patients each: "control" group - usual care - versus "intervention" group "Intervention" group - patient information via an explanatory video followed by a 15-minute music therapy session of the patient's choice in the operating waiting room.

Detailed description

Although general anaesthesia is used for almost 10 million procedures a year, and the safety of this procedure has improved considerably over the last 25 years, notably with the "safety decree" of December 1994, general anaesthesia remains deeply associated with high levels of preoperative anxiety. Anxiety levels are correlated with two perioperative factors: * the need for more anesthetic agents to achieve the same level of depth of anesthesia in anxious patients compared to non-anxious/low-anxiety patients * Development of chronic postoperative pain. The preoperative consultation and visit by an anaesthetist is an important meeting point to reduce these high levels of anxiety. On the other hand, systematic benzodiazepine-based premedication has been abandoned for some years now, and taking action to reduce the level of anxiety is one of today's challenges, using a variety of means: organizational, video, music, virtual reality, hypnosis... Unfortunately, the level of publication on the subject remains low. Currently, a local analysis of this pathway shows several waiting times for which patients are not necessarily informed, and which can generate anxiety during treatment. In addition, our preliminary survey on the subject showed a specific need for information on pain management and anaesthesia recovery. and anesthesia recovery. The goal of this study was to design a two-group comparative study aiming of significantly reducing perioperative anxiety in outpatients by implementing simple solutions. More specifically, our project focuses on the impact of music therapy and dedicated information via an explanatory video of the patient's journey through the operating room on the level of perioperative anxiety.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	music therapy	The patient will benefit from viewing the video and the music therapy session in the waiting room of the operating room. The patient will be asked again for their anxiety score using an anxiety scale. This will define the main outcome of the study. Following this collection and in order not to influence the response, investigators will collect from the patient his compliance with the two proposed techniques as well as his appreciation of the tool.
