Abstract
Preoperative anxiety leads to increased sympathetic activity. This is reflected in the clinic as tachycardia, hypertension and arrhythmias mediated by catecholamines. These hemodynamic changes are also seen during laryngoscopy and intubation and can lead to complications. Pharmacologic agents are usually used to treat anxiety. However, adverse effects and drug interactions may be observed. Traditional and complementary medicine practices have been gaining popularity in recent years as safe and effective methods.
