Supports anaesthesia monitoring consensus; leaves open whether acceptance ensures consistent real-world adherence.
A questionnaire was sent to 293 anaesthetists in the West of Scotland to assess their attitudes to the recommendations for standards of monitoring during anaesthesia and recovery published by the Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland. Such standards are considered achievable and affordable in terms of costs and allow the early detection of events occurring during anaesthesia, which might lead to injury to the patient. The survey shows that there is wide acceptance of the recommendations by anaesthetists of all grades, with resultant improvements in the quality of patients care.
