Summary

DESIGN: Prospective randomised-controlled trial AIM: To determine whether presenting both techniques of general anaesthesia and regional anaesthesia in an unbiased manner, with video media, aids the anaesthetic consent process, compared to standard verbal consent alone.

OUTCOME MEASURES

Primary outcome:

\- Participants' satisfaction regarding the anaesthetic consent process

Secondary outcomes:

* Knowledge, attitudes and practices towards anaesthesia
* Participants' choice of anaesthetic technique POPULATION: General adult population (\>18yrs), males and females DURATION: 2 years

Conditions

  • Regional Anesthesia
  • Patient Satisfaction

Interventions

OTHER

Video assisted consent

The intervention group will also be shown the same pre-recorded standard verbal consent, but following this will additionally be shown a specifically recorded video of the anaesthetic process for both GA and RA. This video will aim to communicate the same information as that found in the traditional verbal consent, using an actor undergoing an anaesthetic to provide context.
