Study Description

Brief Summary

physiological end-point, incidence of adverse events, and changes in psychological status.

In the past, physiological goals, major morbidity and mortality were used as indicators of recovery after surgery. However, major morbidity and mortality rates were extremely low due to the development of surgery and anesthesia techniques, and measurements of these indicators do not adequately reflect postoperative recovery. On the other hand, the measurement of the patient's health status or quality of life has become an important metric in many clinical studies. The Quality of Recovery 40 Questionnaire (QoR-40) is a multidimensional tool that specifically assesses and develops anesthetic and postoperative health conditions. Severance Hospital is conducting an anesthesiologist-led prayer for the patient only for the desired patient before anesthesia. Although it may be expected that this preoperative airway may improve the quality of recovery after anesthesia / surgery by reducing patient anxiety, there is no objective study on this. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of preoperative preoperative airway on the quality of postoperative recovery in patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer. I want to see. In addition, we will investigate whether preoperative airway affects sympathetic nervous system during surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: prayer group

Behavioral: Prayer
If the patient wishes to pray, the anesthesiologist will pray for one minute before anesthesia.

Active Comparator: non-prayer group

Behavioral: non-prayer
If the patient does not want to pray, the anesthesiologist does anesthesia without praying.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. QoR40 on POD1 [within the first 1 day after surgery]

    On the first day after surgery, visit the patient and give the QoR 40 to the patient to fill out a questionnaire.
