ABSTRACT
In modern world the importance of patients satisfaction level is not only limited to evaluate the medical care (that leads to improved quality of anesthesia) but also to reduce the complications of spinal anesthesia by anesthesiologist. With the aim of this we conducted a study to evaluate patients satisfaction level receiving spinal anaesthesia, to determine predictors which causes dissatisfaction in the patients regarding anaesthesia and to decrease or avoid the post operative complication related to it. This is a Prospective and Observational study. 60 patients of ASA grade I and II, between the age of 18 to 60 years, posted for below umbilical surgery under spinal anesthesia. A high percentage of the patients were satisfied after the spinal anesthesia and reasons of dissatisfaction were shivering, nausea/vomiting, pain in arm, difficulty in voiding urine. Few patients also had complain of headache and back pain after surgery. In our study, we concluded a high rate of patient satisfaction except some variables (which causes patient’s dissatisfaction). Keeping all factors in mind along with good explanation to the patient about anaesthetic procedure during the preanesthetic visit, could increase the satisfaction level.
