To assess the value of preoperative anaesthetic consultations done on an outpatient basis, questionnaires were sent to 150 consecutive private patients who had been seen during the previous six months. Replies were received from 72%, and of these, 88% found the visit to be beneficial, whilst 2% were critical of the practice. Twenty-three percent did not know that anaesthetists were medically qualified. A retrospective audit of a further 100 patients revealed that 52% of patients had had their preoperative management altered to some degree as a consequence of the appointment. Based on his own experiences and the comments received from patients, the author believes this practice should be more widespread.
为评估门诊术前麻醉咨询的价值，向在过去六个月内接诊的150例连续的私人患者发放了问卷。72%的患者回复了问卷，其中88%的患者认为此次就诊有益，而2%的患者对这种做法持批评态度。23%的患者不知道麻醉医生具备医学资质。对另外100例患者的回顾性审计显示，52%的患者因其预约就诊，其术前管理在某种程度上得到了改变。基于自身经验和患者的反馈，作者认为这种做法应该更广泛地推行。
