“…The role of anaesthesiologists outside the OR was reported in previous studies as around 15-30%. 1,20,30 A recent study 22 reports that about 65% patients believe that an anaesthetist can manage all types of pain. Prasad & Suresh 18 also found that 68% of their observed patients knew the role of anaesthesiologists in pain management and a major portion (72.5%) knew about painless labour.…”

BACKGROUNDImage of anaesthesia and anaesthesiologist in the eyes of patients is variedly reported in literature and mostly poor in developing countries. We often realised this underestimation of our risky task, inadequate appreciation and recognition of our effort from patients. Hence, we put an endeavour to explore the existing perception among our patients in this rural region regarding our specialty and anaesthesiologist. MATERIALS AND METHODSThis observational, paper-based questionnaire survey was carried out in the pre-anaesthetic checkup (PAC) clinic involving 101 patients scheduled to undergo elective surgery. The survey was carried out using structured interview based on the open-ended questionnaire consisting of 15 MCQ type questions. Data were mostly categorical data such as number of patients (percentage). Statistical comparison has been done between the favourable response (s) and all other responses taken together as unfavourable response (s). RESULTSAbout 44% of patients knew that anaesthesiologists are qualified doctors. Thirty percent had knowledge that anaesthesiologist has to be present after induction for continuation of the anaesthesia and for monitoring the vitals. About 10% patients are aware about the other roles of anaesthesiologists outside operating room. Regarding the risk related with anaesthesia and surgery, majority of patients (58%) were not informed at all. A considerable proportion of patients (90%) opined that pre-anaesthetic checkup is useful. Among the high literacy group, considerably higher proportions of patients have answered the favourable options. CONCLUSIONThe survey concludes that patients' perception about anaesthesia is poor. The patients also have insufficient knowledge about the exact role of an anaesthesiologist inside or outside the operating room. BACKGROUND Anaesthesiology is one of the rapidly evolving disciplines of medical science that has made immense development in the recent past. Advancement in surgery and anaesthesia are going absolutely parallel to each other. Anaesthesiologists are playing a decisive role in patient management. In the last two decades, the role of anaesthesiologist has extended not only inside but also outside traditional operating room (OR) settings. An anaesthesiologist plays a very crucial role in intensive critical care units, trauma centres, pain clinics and as a member of resuscitation team all over the world. 1 KEYWORDS

“…The scare of coronaviruses has also unmasked the crevices in the integration of medicine and dentistry and also health systems have concluded negligence for the profession. (Alqefari, 2017) Our team had conducted various studies among dental students to assess the knowledge about various conditions related to teeth (Gunasekaran and R, 2016;Sukumaran and Padavala, 2018) and its supporting structures (Manohar and Abilasha, 2019). Many awareness-based studies have been conducted by our team (Hannah, 2018) but there is a lacunae in the studies regarding the spread of various diseases among dentists, hence the present study was conducted to assess and improve the awareness regarding this pandemic.…”

COVID -19 is the most recent pandemic disease that has affected the world's population. We, as health care providers should be more responsible for reducing the transmission of this deadly disease. The aim of the survey was to assess the knowledge and awareness among dental professionals towards COVID -19 and reduce the spread among patients and co-workers. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of 100 dental students by means of a questionnaire, using google forms, results were tabulated and analysed using SPSS. 24.8% prefer and rely on the fact that fever has been the main symptoms of COVID -19 while 32.7% of the respondents prefer on the fact that cough has been the symptoms leading to COVID -19 64% of the dental students are aware on the fact that patients should be checked on their temperature before the consultation. 36.3% of the dental students prefer no checking of temperature before the consultation. The results of the survey showed that some knowledge gaps exist among dental students regarding this very deadly disease and hence is an urgent need for training and conduct complete awareness regarding this deadly disease and control it by essential precautionary methods.
