Table 3.
Questions 6–9, presented as 3 results, 1. disagree completely/disagree, 2. no opinion, 3. agree partly/agree completely | Anaesthesiologist (%) | Nurse anaesthetist (%) | All (%) |
---|---|---|---|
6a. Is anaesthetic depth measurement used at your clinic? This question has only, yes or no alternatives (yes/no) | 50/50 n = 409 |
52/48 n = 605 |
51/49 n = 1014 |
6b. If yes to question 6a. Following choices: “Always/when the device is available/only risk patients/only during general anaesthesia with muscle relaxants/rarely” |
11/11/25/20/33 n = 202 |
13/13/20/23/24 n = 303 |
12/12/22/22/22 n = 505 |
7a. If you undergo surgery yourself, would you use DOA monitoring? | 43/29/28 n = 408 |
28/30/42 n = 579 |
35/30/35 n = 987 |
7b. Would you use DOA monitor to reduce the risk of awareness? | 38/20/42 n = 405 |
21/22/57 n = 584 |
30/21/49 n = 989 |
7c. Do you think that DOA monitoring is reliable method for controlling the anaesthetic depth? | 44/31/25 n = 401 |
29/32/38 n = 578 |
36/32/32 n = 979 |
7d. Do you think that DOA monitoring is too expensive to be used? | 51/41/8 n = 401 |
53/40/7 n = 578 |
52/40/8 n = 979 |
8. In the U.S., anaesthetic depth measurement is very common with general anaesthesia. In UK, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidance (NICE) (Nov 2012) recommended anaesthetic depth measurement as a possible choice for general anaesthesia in patients at risk and with TIVA. Do you think it should be applied in Sweden too? | 19/40/41 n = 413 |
13/28/59 n = 588 |
16/34/50 n = 1001 |
9. Today, we routinely assess patients regarding for example cardiac status. Do you think it would be useful to also preoperatively evaluate neurocognitive function with for instance Mini Mental Test (MMT), or similar, to detect preoperative cognitive impairment that may increase the risk of postoperative delirium or POCD? | 21/26/53 n = 413 |
14/33/60 n = 614 |
15/29/56 n = 1027 |
