Pre-induction checklists and discomfort in patients. An observational study

CONCLUSION Patients experience far less discomfort observing the use of pre-induction checklists than anaesthesia providers expect. Patients value the potential safety benefit significantly higher than anaesthesia providers. These results further support the implementation of peri-operative checklists in the operating room environment. TRIAL REGISTRATION The current observational study had no intervention, therefore, was not registered.
