Implication

Randomised controlled trial shows that same anaesthetist visits reduce preoperative anxiety, suggesting improved experiences for patients.

Key Points

  • Preoperative anxiety was significantly lower in patients visited by the same anaesthetist.
  • The mean APAIS result for patients with different anaesthetists was 16.09, compared to 12.40 for the same.
  • Ninety patients assessed their anxiety and recovery quality through structured preoperative visits.
  • The findings suggest that maintaining consistent anaesthetist visits may optimize preoperative care.
