Data were collection tools include: demographic questionnaire, Self-Report Anxiety Scale, and Vital Signs Scale. In premedication group A (100 mg hydrocortisone and 4 mg intravenous chlorpheniramine premedication), In premedication group B(100 mg intravenous hydrocortisone and 5 mg intravenous diazepam), In premedication group C(100 mg hydrocortisone and 2 mg intravenous normal saline) were given. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software.

Compare the pulse in three groups premedication, The only statistically significant difference was observed in groups A and B (P=0.001 and 0.04). Breathing into three groups premedication, the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The comparison of systolic and diastolic blood pressure showed a statistically significant difference in all three groups (p<0.001).
