Abstract
Anesthesia is putting the patient in a state of loss of consciousness so that the surgeon to perform the surgical operation, anesthesia is an aid in the field of surgery and not a therapeutic method, which serves to spare the patient a sense of pain and thus spare the surgeon to exert more effort so as not to cause more pain to the patient. The current study aims to assess the knowledge level regarding anesthesia among the Saudi community through the distribution of a semi-structured questionnaire on a randomly selected sample (N=117). Study findings had indicated that despite the good knowledge level about the possible risks of anesthesia on patients suffering from chronic diseases and the presence of various types of anesthesia, still there is a lack of knowledge in different anesthesia aspects such as the role of the anesthesiologist and the nature of the anesthesia process. The study recommended that an intensive awareness campaign aiming to educate people about anesthesia and the role of the anesthesiologist should be performed under the supervision of the Saudi health authorities.
