title: [Role of the anesthetic consultation in an organization model of the anesthesia-resuscitation department].
abstract: The anaesthetic consultation is essential to give patients a sense of security. It should be organised taking into account the needs and resources of the department. In the light of the experience of the authors in an anti-cancer center, three main principles can be enumerated for this to be properly organised: the detachment of doctors from the surgical departments, a rotation in the department and a timetable for the consultations. The part played by the departments requesting help and the different secretarial offices is important. In this way one can anticipate and eliminate the improvisation which always occurs, to the detriment of the patient. Collaboration between the different departments involved is naturally indispensable. These general principles have beeen stated for at least a dozen or so years by a certain number of anaesthetists. It was quite easy to stranspose these principles and to adapt them to the organisation of the anti-cancer struggle. Such applications should be generalised.
