NCT04734119 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 0226-18-MMC
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 100

Brief Summary

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.
