Breathwork Training Reduces Anxiety In Outpatient Gastrointestinal Procedures

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Anxiety

In brief

Preoperative anxiety is common in outpatient procedures and can negatively impact physiologic stability and recovery. Non-pharmacologic interventions may offer a safe alternative to traditional anxiolytics. This study utilizes a 7 minute noninvasive paced breathwork strategy that cues patients to slow their breathing to 6 times per minute. Physiologic parameters, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate will be compared pre and and post intervention, as well as recovery room time.
