Abstract
One hundred obstetric patients presenting for elective surgery who had refused regional anaesthesia were interviewed just prior to entering the operating room. In each case, the reason for refusing a regional technique was recorded. The most frequent reasons given were fear of backache (33%) and fear of the needle (28%). Anaesthetists should be aware of patients' concerns and be able to discuss the relevant issues.Entities:
