[Preoperative patient-oriented advance planning of emergency and intensive care treatment - Necessary or imposition? : Questionnaire survey].

CONCLUSION: The results confirmed a substantial interest in patient-oriented advance planning of emergency care in a preoperative setting; however, no demographic group criteria for patients with information requirements could be defined. As the burden evoked by the topic is low, advance planning of emergency and intensive care treatment of inpatients undergoing surgery should be actively provided in the future.
