title: [A questionnaire survey of the panel discussion at the annual meeting of the Japan Society of Anesthesiologists].
abstract: Two hundred questionnaire sheets were distributed to the audience of the panel discussion session titled "Progresses of balanced anesthesia" at the annual meeting of the Japan Society of Anesthesiologists. The audience was requested to rate their interest to the program and also rate the usefulness of the presentations by each panel. One hundred and seventeen questionnaire sheets (58%) were returned. Eighty five % of the returned survey expressed interests in the program. Forty three % expressed their interests in altering their anesthesia techniques along the line of the recommendation by the panels. These data suggest that the program met the educational need of the audience. Questionnaire survey may be useful in identifying the need of the members, and thus helpful in planning future meetings of the society.
