Objectives: To evaluate the presence of anxiety in individuals in the immediate preoperative period by applying the short version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and measure the biomarker salivary alpha-amylase and physiologic parameters to verify the existence of an association between them and the effects of using psychotropic medications to control anxiety. Methods: Observational, analytical, and longitudinal study with 64 patients in their immediate preoperative period who would have elective mid-size surgeries. Anxiety was assessed by applying the short version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (short version) and measuring the biomarker salivary alpha- amylase and physiologic parameters (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate) at two times: after admission of the patient to the infirmary and one hour before they were taken to the operating room. Results: there was a statistically significant difference between the results obtained at the two times for the Inventory and systolic and diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.17), as well as salivary alpha-amylase and use of psychotropic medications (p = 0.002). Additionally, a correlation was found between the differences measured by means of the Inventory at the two times and age (p = 0.003). Conclusion: the patients had anxiety during the immediate preoperative period. Use of psychotropic drugs showed a direct relationship with decreased salivary alpha-amylase. The score in the short version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (short version) decreased as patient age increased.
