Analysis of the effect of dental anxiety on tooth extraction in patients with cardiovascular disease / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the effect of dental anxiety on tooth extractionin patients with cardiovascular disease,provide guidance for clinical work. Methods A total of 157 cases were selected from patients with cardiovascular disease who underwent tooth extraction by electrocardiograph monitoring in stomatology department. The Modified Dental Anxiety Scale (MDAS) and Wong-Baker Facial Scale was used to assess preoperative anxiety, pain degree of operation. The heart rate and blood pressure were recorded by biological measurements, and the length of operation was recorded.Whether or not could hemostasis after the operation.According to the MDAS scoring standard, patients who scored more than or equal to 13 points were classified as anxiety. Results The age of the patient was (74.73±8.98) years,the anxiety score was (9.95±3.35) points, there was a negative correlation between age of patients and anxiety score (r=-0.383, P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between anxiety score and the degree of pain in the patient, the length of the operation (r=0.340-0.445, P<0.05). Forty-nine cases of anxiety patients and 108 cases of non anxiety patients. The diastolic blood pressure after anesthesia for 5 minutes was (80.24± 8.10) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) in the patients with dental anxiety, the diastolic blood pressure afteranesthesia for 5 minutes was (77.04 ± 9.15) mmHg in the patients without dental anxiety,there were statistic differences in diastolic blood pressure after anesthesia for 5 minutes between the patients of two groups (t=2.11, P<0.05). The effective hemostasis rate of the patients with dental anxiety was 77.551％(38/49) and the patients without dental anxiety was 92.592％(100/108), there were statistical differences in hemostatic effect after the operation between the two groups of patients (χ2=7.169, P<0.05).Conclusions Medical staff can assess dental anxiety condition in patients with cardiovascular diseases who underwent tooth extraction and analysis its effecton surgery, implement targeted and personalized health education, eliminate the negative emotions of patients, reduce the incidence of anxiety, thereby reduce the adverse effects of anxiety on surgery, and guarantee safety during operation.
