Pre-operative anxiety usually lead to increased anesthetics during the surgery. The precise sedative requirement which can keep adequate sedative state and avoid adverse effects caused by excessive drugs still needs further study. Therefore, our purpose was to confirm the sedative effect of butorphanol and to explore the relationship between pre-operative anxiety and intra-operative butorphanol requirement to evaluate the precise sedative requirement which can keep adequate sedation for patients by pre-operative anxiety score.
A total of 142 patients (aged 18-75 years) who were scheduled for elective low limb orthopedic procedures under spinal anesthesia were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups based on pre-operative anxiety score evaluated by the Amsterdam pre-operative anxiety and information scale before the surgery. And intramuscular midazolam 0.05mg/kg as a premedication in preoperative room was given to patients before shifting into operation room. Patients in each group were randomly divided into butorphanol group and 0.9% saline group. The sedation score, the duration of reaching adequate sedation state and postoperative recovery were recorded.

preoperative anxiety score assessed by the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS)".
evaluate the preoperative anxiety score before the surgery, APAIS contains 6 items rated on a five-point Likert scale, which represents two scales: anxiety (items 1, 2, 4, and 5) and need for information (items 3 and 6) Accordingly, the maximal score of the entire APAIS (APAIS-T) is 30 and the one expressing the patient's need for information (APAIS-I) is 10. The maximal score of the two items concerning anxiety about anesthesia (APAIS-A-An) and surgery (APAIS-A-Su) is also 10 each, resulting in a maximal score of 20 for total preoperative anxiety (APAIS-A-T). And APAIS-A-T \> 10 was used as a cut-off to define patients with high anxiety, the higher the score, the more serious the pre-operative anxiety is
Time frame: before the surgery
Ramsay Sedation score
evaluate the Ramsay sedation score 10min after getting into the operation room and 5,10,15,30min after infusion.The Ramsay Sedation score ranges from 1-6. 1, anxious and agitated or restless or both; 2, cooperative, orientated, and tranquil; 3, responds to commands only; 4, brisk response to a light glabellar tap or auditory stimulus; 5, sluggish response to a light glabellar tap or auditory stimulus; and 6, no response to a light glabellar tap or auditory stimulus
Time frame: during the surgery
The time when Ramsay sedation score reached 4 points
record the time when Ramsay sedation score reached 4 points.The Ramsay Sedation score ranges from 1-6. 1, anxious and agitated or restless or both; 2, cooperative, orientated, and tranquil; 3, responds to commands only; 4, brisk response to a light glabellar tap or auditory stimulus; 5, sluggish response to a light glabellar tap or auditory stimulus; and 6, no response to a light glabellar tap or auditory stimulus
Time frame: Ramsay sedation score reach 4 points during the surgery
