Abstract
Anaesthesiology is unique specialty where the anaesthesiologists routinely expose the patient to risk to facilitate a desired surgical outcome in a holistic manner. Since the demonstration of first anaesthesia, its administration is considered hazardous for the patients. It is important to understand the type and the extent of the risks involved. The patients should have access to truthful knowledge on the possibility of specific complications in the perioperative period, to facilitate informed decision making related to anaesthesia and surgery.
