Brief Summary

Anxiety is an emotional disorder. It's a painful concern caused by uncertainty. It is a complex phenomenon misunderstood in spite of medical progress.

Detailed Description

It is monocentric, prospective and interventional study. This study will be proposed at the patients who will have an orthopedic surgery in full hospitalization. These patients are anxious because of surgery too. The day before surgery anesthetist save heart rate variability and value of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide during relaxation session.
