The aim of this study was to construct a tool for assessing patients' satisfaction with anesthesia, and then examine the effects of post-operative care provided by anesthesiologists on patients’ satisfaction. Methods: The study included patients undergoing general anesthesia, who were considered ASA 1 and ASA 2 class.

The tools used in the research were Anesthesia patient satisfaction questionnaire specially designed for this study and Post Anesthetic Recovery Scoring System (PAS).
