There are various modes of anaesthesia available in the community today. This gives anaesthesiologists the freedom to select those that are safe, efficacious and most suitable for patients. However, patients may not always agree with their anaesthesiologist on the preferred mode of anaesthesia because they may have a different set of priorities, with many of them electing to have the lack of intraoperative awareness as the primary objective. Hence, disagreements between anaesthesiologists and patients may arise and could potentially disrupt doctor-patient relationship. This paper attempts to explore the possible reasons for obstetric patients championing for certain modes of anaesthesia and to provide an insight into the need for adequate patient education.
目前，社区中有多种麻醉方式可供选择。这使得麻醉师可以自由选择那些安全、有效且最适合患者的方式。然而，患者可能并不总是同意麻醉师对首选麻醉方式的选择，因为他们可能有不同的优先事项，其中许多人将术中意识缺失作为主要目标。因此，麻醉师和患者之间可能会出现意见分歧，并可能破坏医患关系。本文试图探讨产妇支持某些麻醉方式的可能原因，并深入了解充分的患者教育的必要性。
