简要总结
This is a cross-sectional observational study designed to assess the knowledge and concerns of patients regarding anesthesia during preoperative evaluation.
A total of 150 adult patients (aged 18–70 years, ASA I–III) undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or nerve blocks will be enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Each participant will complete a standardized 40-question questionnaire, available in English and Tamil, administered through a personal interview.
The primary objective is to evaluate patients’ understanding of anesthesia and the role of anesthesiologists.
The secondary objective is to assess their concerns and anxiety related to anesthesia using a structured scoring system to categorize levels of awareness and anxiety.
The study aims to identify gaps in patient knowledge and common concerns about anesthesia, thereby helping to improve preoperative counseling and patient confidence before surgery.
