To compare the effectiveness and safety of different preprocedural anxiolytic agents in Mohs surgery on perioperative patient anxiety and patient satisfaction.
A double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted of 6 different preprocedural anxiolytic agents (lorazepam, diazepam, alprazolam, gabapentin, pregabalin, and melatonin) in 350 patients undergoing Mohs surgery. Anxiety and vital signs were recorded.
Diazepam demonstrated a statistically significant, sustained reduction in anxiety levels compared with placebo ( p = .03). Gabapentin significantly reduced early anxiety ( p = .02). Alprazolam showed a trend to early anxiety reduction ( p = .08). Lorazepam ( p = .73), pregabalin ( p = .53), and melatonin ( p = .24) failed to reduce patient anxiety compared with placebo at any time point. No anxiolytic significantly impacted any patient vital sign or cognition.
Although short-acting benzodiazepines and gamma-aminobutyric acid medications may have transient anxiolytic effects, a single oral dose of 5 mg of diazepam can provide a sustained anxiolytic effect in Mohs surgery, with excellent patient safety.
目的:比较不同术前抗焦虑药在Mohs手术围手术期患者焦虑和患者满意度的有效性和安全性。
方法:双盲,随机化,安慰剂对照试验是对6种不同的术前抗焦虑药(劳拉西泮,地西泮,阿普唑仑,加巴喷丁,普瑞巴林,和褪黑激素)在350名接受Mohs手术的患者中。记录焦虑和生命体征。
结果:地西泮具有统计学意义,与安慰剂相比,焦虑水平持续降低(p=0.03)。加巴喷丁显著降低早期焦虑(p=.02)。阿普唑仑显示出早期焦虑减轻的趋势(p=.08)。劳拉西泮(p=.73),普瑞巴林(p=.53),与安慰剂相比,褪黑素(p=0.24)在任何时间点都无法减轻患者的焦虑。没有抗焦虑药显着影响任何患者的生命体征或认知。
结论:尽管短效苯二氮卓类药物和γ-氨基丁酸药物可能具有短暂的抗焦虑作用,单次口服5毫克地西泮可以在Mohs手术中提供持续的抗焦虑作用,具有出色的患者安全性。
