[Questionnaire survey by anesthesia information sheet and patient's opinions about a visiting anesthesiologist].
For a visiting anesthesiologist, the time allowed for explaining anesthesia for patients is limited. A questionnaire survey by anesthesia information sheet was performed and patient's opinions about the work of a visiting anesthesiologist were evaluated. The anesthesia information sheet explaining anesthesia risks and complications in addition to the anesthesia method was useful to make the patient understand anesthesia. A visiting anesthesiologist had better avoid explaining anesthesia on the day of operation. However, it is important for a visiting anesthesiologist himself to explain the methods and risks of anesthesia to the patient in order to build a mutual trust between the patient and the anesthesiologist. It is important to obtain an informed consent on anesthesia by the visiting anesthesiologist, but the format of the consent can be variable decided by the anesthesiologist.
