Assessing Patient Understanding of Pre-Anesthesia Visits

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate how well anesthesiology residents explain the content of preoperative anesthesia visits and how well patients understand this information. Data will be collected through questionnaires administered to both residents and patients, focusing on the main topics covered during the visit, the duration of the visit, and the patients' comprehension of the anesthesia informed consent. The study seeks to identify areas for improvement in communication to enhance patient understanding and satisfaction.
