Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Anxiety

Anxiety will be assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-6), a validated 6-item questionnaire. Scores will be subsequently transformed to the full STAI-S scale (range 20-80) for reporting. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.

Time frame
Preoperative (baseline, prior to intervention), intraoperative (after valve deployment), postoperatively upon arrival to the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) when the patient is alert and able to respond, and 24 hours after surgery.

Secondary outcomes

1

Participant satisfaction

A questionnaire comprising multiple items to assess participants' overall intraoperative experience and satisfaction. Each item is scored on a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates "extremely dissatisfied" and 10 indicates "extremely satisfied."

Time frame
24 hours after surgery
