Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The doctor-patient relationship, medical competence and patient expectations influence patient satisfaction with anesthesia. Preoperatively all patients are routinely assessed by an anesthesiologist. However, in many centers, the anesthesiologist who performs the preoperative evaluation will not necessarily be the anesthesiologist who provides the intraoperative service. This study evaluated the effect of this practice on patient satisfaction, level of confidence and anxiety among adult patients undergoing elective surgery.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background: The doctor-patient relationship, medical competence and patient expectations influence patient satisfaction with anesthesia. Preoperatively all patients are routinely assessed by an anesthesiologist. However, in many centers, the anesthesiologist who performs the preoperative evaluation will not necessarily be the anesthesiologist who provides the intraoperative service. This study evaluated the effect of this practice on patient satisfaction, level of confidence and anxiety among adult patients undergoing elective surgery.

Methods: 100 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 equal groups: In Group A patients were evaluated and anesthetized by the same anesthesiologist. In Group B the preoperative assessment and actual anesthesia was performed by two different anesthesiologists. On the first postoperative day all patients completed a questionnaire designed to evaluate their sense of preoperative security (confidence) and their overall satisfaction with the anesthetic experience.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group A- same anesthesiologist

In Group A patients were evaluated preoperatively and anesthetized by the same anesthesiologist.

Pre operative evaluation and anesthesia administration by the same anesthesiologist

Intervention Type OTHER

Pre operative evaluation and anesthesia administration by the same anesthesiologist (instead of two different anesthesiologists, as routinely performed in our medical center)

Group B- different anesthesiologist

In Group B the preoperative assessment and actual anesthesia was performed by two different anesthesiologists
