Investigation of causes of the patient's refusal for spinal anesthesia
Keywords:
Patient refusal, spinal anesthesia, anesthesiologistAbstract
Spinal anesthesia is an effective and routinely used technique in many operations. The frequency of spinal anesthesia preference is increasing with the growing number of peripheral vascular surgeries day by day. However, for various reasons, patients are refusing spinal anesthesia despite the recommendations of the surgeon and anesthesiologist. The causes of patient refusals for anesthesia have been investigated in various surgeries. However, the reasons for the refusal of patients who are going to have elective surgery with spinal anesthesia have not been examined. This study aimed to reveal the causes of patients' requests to not apply spinal anesthesia. Our aim is to increase the use of spinal anesthesia by focusing on the prevention of anxiety levels in patients before explaining spinal anesthesia, thus contributing to the adequate and effective management of clinical research and the reasons for patient refusal.
