The anesthesia information sheet used in our hospital describes the anesthetic management and complications in a simple style. Patients scheduled for operations receive it from their doctor with some explanation about anesthesia. The written informed consent on the sheet is obtained from the patients. ⋯ In view of this survey we concluded that reading the information sheet before the anesthesiologist's preoperative rounds is useful to increase the patients understanding of anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Postoperative nausea and vomiting caused by epidural infusion following gynecological laparoscopic surgery: fentanyl and ropivacaine versus ropivacaine alone].
Patients who undergo gynecological laparoscopic surgery often begin to eat and ambulate soon after surgery. However, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) can postpone recovery. ⋯ We found that PCEA with ropivacaine alone resulted in a significantly lower incidence of PONV and did not disturb eating and ambulation following gynecological laparoscopic surgery, as compared to patients who received CEA.
