Behavioral Support Before Anesthesia

NCT01515683 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 350

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Studies shows that reduced nervousness before anaesthesia may improve a course past anaesthesia. Therefore it is interesting to investigate how we can best help patients shortly before anaesthesia. A RCT with three intervention arms (with different personal support) and a control arm (with usual personal support) is therefore performed.

Hypothesis: Nervousness is reduced by the new interventions compared to the usual help provided.
