研究概览
简要总结
Studies in the past have shown that there is limited knowledge among general public and even the patients about various aspects of Anaesthesia. The role of Anaesthetist is not only confined to the operation theatres. Anaesthetists provide vital services in other areas like pain management, palliative care and Intensive Care Units.
However, patients’ understanding of Anaesthesia is evolving. More and more patients are coming to know about Anaesthesia. Pre anaesthetic assessment still remains a less cared aspect of Anaesthesia.
Some patients have misconceptions regarding Anaesthesia, which influences their decision to seek anaesthetic and surgical care on time The present study will assess the awareness and knowledge of patients about anaesthesia and anaesthesiologist at a tertiary care hospital.
