Measurement of patient satisfaction as an outcome of regional anesthesia and analgesia: A systematic review

Perspectives of anesthesia residents training in Canada on fellowship training, research, and future practice location

“…26 Furthermore, academic institutions may favour anesthesiologists trained in regional anesthesia due to patient and surgeon preference for regional anesthetic options and subspecialty education for residents. [27][28][29] Preference for a particular location of future practice also provides insight into significant considerations in resident career planning. The majority of residents prioritized family or personal reasons and city of institution in deciding location of future practice, whereas those interested in fellowship training and research placed more weight on colleagues, teaching, and research opportunities.…”

Role of Intravenous Dexmedetomidine in Prolonging Postoperative Analgesia and Quality of Block Following Spinal Anaesthesia. A Systemic Review and Update

“…But many patients don't like to be awake to remember or recall the intraoperative procedure [46] and request for some form of sedation. The aim of sedation in regional anaesthesia technique include general patient comfort, freedom from specific discomfort and some amnesia for entire procedure [47]. proper sedation has shown to improve the patient satisfaction during regional anaesthesia [48,49] and may be considered as a mean to increase the patient acceptance for regional anaesthesia technique, sedation not only increases the patient acceptance for regional anaesthesia, it sometime cover up some inadequate or insufficient block and can help to reduce the requirement of opioid analgesic and indirectly contribute to reduction in postoperative nausea vomiting [50][51][52].…”

Patient satisfaction with anesthesia care: information alone does not lead to improvement

“…3 In that study, a rigorous protocol was applied in the development of the questionnaire, for example testing for validity and reliability. [4][5][6][7] The most important finding of the first survey was that the assessment of patient satisfaction in the form of dimensions (groups of items or aspects which cover a special area, for example, information) was methodologically superior to a global rating like 'How would you rate the overall care you received for your anesthetic?' since specific improvement strategies can only be derived from specific problems.…”
