Abstract

Patient satisfaction on spinal anaesthesia to caesarean section is of interest. Hence, data from 60 female doctors of various disciplines working in Bhopal city who underwent caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia during the last 5 years were included in this study. Factors associated with dissatisfaction were lack of communication and explanations for anaesthesia. Level of satisfaction with pain control was (86.6%). Pre-operative complications which scored highest are intraoperative shivering (10%), post-operative pain (20%) and backache (18.3%). Thus, the overall satisfaction among doctors receiving spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section was significantly high and major contributing factors for dissatisfaction need to be addressed.
