A perioperative mind-body intervention (MBI) consisting of two seven-minute guided meditations—including diaphragmatic breathing, body scans, and guided imagery focused on the leg receiving surgery—was designed for patients undergoing peripheral vascular interventions under procedural sedation. The intervention was developed using the ORBIT model: Phase 1a involved literature review and protocol drafting; Phase 1b used a modified Delphi process with a multi-disciplinary expert panel, reaching consensus after three iterations. The resulting MBI aims to decrease perioperative anxiety and facilitate patient compliance during surgery. A prospective pilot study is planned to test feasibility.
