Summary

This study looks at whether adding visual aids to the standard written consent form helps patients better understand anesthesia information. About 236 adults scheduled for elective surgery will either get the usual consent form or one with pictures. Thirty minutes later, their understanding is tested with a questionnaire. The goal is to see if visuals improve comprehension and awareness of anesthesia risks.
