Patient/anesthesiologist intersubjective experiences and intravenous supplementation during elective cesarean delivery: A prospective patient-reported outcome study
Authors' conclusion
The study revealed a substantial gap between patient requests for analgesics and their administration, as well as an overreliance on anxiolysis compared to analgesia. Unconscious attitudes related to patient factors and subjective physician perceptions played a role in medication decisions.
