Patient Handout Generator

Welcome to the patient handout generator. 

​

According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists,

one in four patients delay surgery because of

anesthesia fear. 

 

Any person with experience in the perioperative period knows that many patients have extreme fear of anesthesia. This anesthesia anxiety can lead to delay in surgery scheduling, increased cancellations, patients who arrive unprepared for anesthesia, and ultimately poorer outcomes and recovery. 

​

This website aims to educate and empower patients in their own anesthesia care. 

​

To that end, we have created a PDF printable patient handout with a QR code linked to anesthesia information specific to your patient's surgery. 

​

Instructions:

​
