Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn about current pre-anaesthesia practices in Denmark and patients' experiences of pre-anaesthesia consultations as well as what matters to patients before anaesthesia. The questions the study aims to answer are: What are the current pre-anaesthesia practices in Danish public hospitals. How do patients experience pre-anaesthesia consultations in Danish public hospitals. What matters to patients before anaesthesia in Danish public hospitals. On the day of surgery, patients answer an online survey about what matters to them when undergoing anaesthesia and whether they spoke with an anaesthesiologist or nurse anaesthetist about the anaesthesia. Data from the medical chart are obtained to support patients responses. For patients receiving a pre-anaesthesia consultation, we will summarise the degree of person-centredness experienced by patients.
