Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Patient Satisfaction
  • Healthcare Professional-Patient Relationship

Context:

  • Patients typically select their surgeon but not their anesthesiologist.
  • Anesthesia care often involves multiple physicians perioperatively.
  • This lack of choice and multiple providers may decrease patient satisfaction.

Purpose:

  • To examine patient willingness in choosing their anesthesiologist for surgery.
  • To assess patient opinions on current anesthesia practice.

Summary:

  • 34% of patients chose their anesthesiologist, with women choosing more often than men.
  • 80% of patients saw a different anesthesiologist than the one from their preoperative visit.
  • Patients recalled surgeons' names more often than anesthesiologists' names (60% vs. 4%).
