“…Ispanijoje atliktoje tyrime net 90 proc. apklausos dalyvių anesteziologo pareigas už operacinės ribų (poanestezinę priežiūrą, pooperacinę analgeziją, lėtinį skausmo gydymą) priskiria kitiems specialistams [11].…”

Įvadas. Pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais pasiekta reikšmingos anesteziologijos pažangos, ženkliai sumažinusios su anestezija susijusias komplikacijas, tačiau visuomenėje trūksta šios srities žinių. Anestezija daugeliui pacientų tebekelia susirūpinimą, o gydytojo anesteziologo vaidmuo išlieka neaiškus [1,2]. Lietuvoje iki šiol nebuvo atlikta tyrimų šia tema, todėl šiuo tyrimu siekta įvertinti anesteziologo reikšmę gydymo procese iš paciento perspektyvos ir nustatyti bendrą pacientų žinių lygį apie anesteziją ir su ja susijusias veiklas. Metodika. Tyrimas atliktas Lietuvos sveikatos mokslų universiteto ligoninėje (LSMUL) Kauno klinikose Anesteziologijos klinikoje, anonimiškai apklausiant vyresnius nei 18 m. pacientus prieš numatytas planines operacijas su anestezija. Tyrimo priemonė − originali anketa, sudaryta iš 19 klausimų. Tyrimo rezultatai. Iš viso tyrime dalyvavo 82 pacientai. 87,5 proc. apklaustųjų anesteziologą atpažįsta kaip gydytoją, visose amžiaus grupėse, nepriklausomai nuo išsilavinimo, amžiaus ar lyties. 96,3 proc. apklaustų pacientų, kurie iki apklausos buvo operuoti naudojant anesteziją, teigė, kad pokalbis su anesteziologu buvo malonus, 80,0 proc. apklaustųjų atsakė, jog anesteziologas šių pokalbių metu paaiškino savo reikšmę gydymo procese. Tyrimu nustatyta, kad daugiau nei pusei respondentų nebuvo paaiškintos galimos anestezijos komplikacijos ar nepageidaujamos reakcijos į vaistus (69,1 proc. ir 76,4 proc. atitinkamai). Pacientų nuomone, anesteziologas yra atsakingas už būklės įvertinimą prieš operaciją (75,6 proc.), atsibudimą po operacijos (80,5 proc.), turi užtikrinti pooperacinę analgeziją (75,6 proc.) ir pykinimo profilaktiką (61 proc.). 76,8 proc. pacientų manė, kad anesteziologas ir chirurgas yra lygiaverčiai komandos nariai. Išvados. Tyrimu nustatytas pakankamas pacientų žinių lygis nepriklausomai nuo lyties, amžiaus ar išsilavinimo. Dauguma apklaustųjų supranta anesteziologo reikšmę gydymo procese, geba atskirti jo pareigas, bendravimą su gydytoju vertina teigiamai, tačiau sako buvę nepakankamai informuoti apie galimas anestezijos komplikacijas. Beveik trys iš keturių pacientų sulygina anesteziologų ir chirurgų svarbą perioperaciniu periodu.

“…1 Despite significant advances in anaesthesiology over the past century and a half by the development of new anaesthetic agents, techniques and new development in monitoring system, still there is not enough public exposure regarding the role of anaesthesiologist. 2 In order to spread the public awareness about the role and training of anaesthesiologists, worldwide every year 16 th October is celebrated as World Anaesthesia Day. 3 Despite this, the public image of anaesthesiologist is so poor that many even do not know that anaesthesiologist is a medically qualified physician.…”

Introduction and Aim:Anaesthesia as speciality has evolved very much but the services are yet very much under recognized. This may be partly because of low knowledge of anaesthesia and anaesthesiologists. School education level of patients may also affect this. This study was conducted to assess the patient's knowledge and perception about the role of anaesthesiologists, anaesthesia and their relationship with different educational level of patients and previous anaesthesia exposure Materials and Methods: The present cross sectional study was conducted with 150 participants aged > 15 years of either sex posted for elective surgery. A questionnaire was used as data collection tool. Data of entire cohort as well as in different subgroups based on education level and previous exposure were calculated and compared using INSTAT software and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: All the participants (56.67% female; mean age 39.36 + 12.63 years) completed the questionnaire. Their knowledge and awareness of anaesthesia and anaesthesiologists was very poor. Even patients with previous anaesthesia exposure were having poor knowledge (3 to 41 % in different aspects). No difference in knowledge and awareness was noted with different educational level (p > 0.05). Previously exposed patients had significantly more knowledge regarding 'who makes you unconscious', 'types of anaesthesia' and routes of 'general anaesthesia administration' but it failed to show difference in other aspects. Conclusion: Knowledge about anaesthesia and anaesthesiologists are still very poor. School education has no positive impact and previous anaesthesia exposure increases the knowledge in limited aspects.

Background: Anaesthesia has always been misconstrued as a 'behind the scenes' specialty. Despite advancements in anaesthesia, there is inadequate public knowledge regarding the specialty, the scope of the functions of anaesthetists, and the pivotal role anaesthetists play in the healthcare delivery system. This study therefore assessed the knowledge and perception of anaesthesia and the role of anaesthetists among patients in a tertiary healthcare facility. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over 3 months in 2015 among 279 patients accessing services at the preanaesthetic clinic of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Patients were interviewed using a structured questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, their knowledge and perceptions about anaesthesia, and the role of anaesthetists. Results: The majority of patients (62.4%) had heard about anaesthesia. Most (85%) knew that specially trained doctors or nurses were responsible for the delivery of anaesthesia. Nearly half the patients indicated anaesthesia was all about 'putting people to sleep and waking them up' . Less than 15% of patients had knowledge of the role of anaesthetists outside the confines of the operating theatre suites. Conclusion: A considerable number of patients had heard about anaesthesia and knew the people responsible for the delivery of anaesthesia. The perception of most patients is that anaesthesia is all about 'putting patients to sleep and waking them up' . There was poor knowledge of patients regarding the role of anaesthetists beyond the confines of the operating theatre.
