Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will be designed to investigate the impact of gender-specific preoperative anxiety states, using the STOA, APAIS, PCS and VAS-A scoring systems, on postoperative opioid consumption after elective ENT surgery.
These findings may have important implications for developing more personalized strategies in acute postoperative pain therapy in selected patients.
Aim Study aim is to investigate the impact of the preoperative anxiety level, using the validated STOA questionnaire, on postoperative opioid requirement during the PACU stay, in order to improve postoperative pain treatment in the long term after ENT surgery.
The present study can contribute to improve postoperative pain management in patients in the field of ENT surgery, as new influencing parameters and risk factors may be discovered.
The investigators hypothesize that a higher preoperative anxiety state, is a predictive factor of opioid requirement in the early postoperative period after ENT surgery.
Methods Surgery-related psychological factors like anxiety state will be assessed gender-specific, in patients scheduled for elective ENT surgery by validated questionnaires (STOA, APAIS, PCS and VAS-A), filled out by the patient the day before surgery and on the day of surgery, to investigate the correlation with the postoperative opioid consumption.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
ENT surgical patients
ASA physical status I-IV adult subjects, ≥ 18 years of age, scheduled for elective ENT surgeries in the Department of ENT at the Medical University of Vienna. On the day before elective ENT- surgery patients will be asked to complete self-administered questionnaires (STOA, APAIS, PCS) concerning their emotional and anxiety state. These questionnaires will be re-tested on the day of surgery and opioid consumption during the stay in the recovery room documented.
Anxiety level assessment
To investigate the impact of psychological variables e.g. pre-surgical anxiety on postoperative opioid consumption and pain level, the investigators will perform the STOA, APAIS, PCS and the VAS-A anxiety questionnaires before surgery.
Interventions
