• Study Type: observational

Brief Summary

During the anesthesia outpatient consultation, patients proposed for minor abdominal surgery, known hypertensive patients are selected. On the day of the procedure, we check the blood pressure figures. If the numbers are high: SBP ≥ 180 and/or PAD≥110: we start by a filling as well as a dose of 1 mg Midazolam IV and the blood pressure figures are re-evaluated. If 3 measurements blood pressure figures remain above the threshold values: Surgery is postponed and the patient will be included to group (A) for canceled. If the blood pressure figures are correct, the surgery is accepted and the patient will be included in the group (NA) for not canceled.

Conditions

Hypertension Secondary; Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Incidence of surgery canceled due to high blood pressure figures in the operating room.

  In the operating room, if the blood pressure figures are high(according to BHS recommendations from 2016) the surgery is canceled

  In the operating room

Secondary Outcomes (8)

• Score d'anxiété: Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS)

  before entering the operating room

• The quality of reception in the operating room

  before entering the operating room

• History of cancellation for hypertension in the operating room
