[Risk communication in anaesthesia consultations]
Abstract
It is the responsibility of all anaesthesiologists to inform their patients about the risk and benefits of available treatment options. It is also our duty to obtain the patient's informed consent. But how much information do patients want about risks, and how should this topic be approached during the preoperative consultation? In this article we will discuss risk perception in general and options to describe potential medical risks.
