Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS)

    11-item questionnaire designed to measure the satisfaction with monitored anesthesia care. The Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale (ISAS) score is the mean of responses to all 11questions. The score can range from a min of -3 to a maximum of +3. The responses are : -3 = disagree very much, -2 = disagree moderately, -1 = disagree slightly, 1 = agree slightly, 2 = agree moderately, and 3 = agree very much. A score of +3 would imply a totally satisfied patient.

    24 hours after the procedure

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Pain Score

    Through study completion up to 24 hours after procedure.

  • State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)

    Before and 24 hours after the procedure

Study Arms (2)

Hand-held group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients hand will be held by the anesthesia provider during the procedure. A folded blanket will be over the patient's hand during the procedure and the anesthesia provider will have their hand under the folded blanket holding the patient's hand.

Behavioral: Intraoperative Hand Held

No hand holding group

NO INTERVENTION

No physical contact for comfort or reassurance during the procedure. A folded blanket will be over the patient's hand during the procedure and the anesthesia provider will be next to the patient's hand.

Interventions
