Introduction: Patient satisfaction is an integral part of the quality of healthcare processes. The survey performed by the ASA Committee on Performance and Outcomes Measurement (CPOM) in 2013 states that the assessment of patient satisfaction is a reality of practice today. Thus, this study aimed to assess patient satisfaction with perioperative anaesthesia services and determine the factors influencing patient satisfaction in our hospital. Methods: We performed the cross-sectional study at our tertiary care institute after getting institutional review board approval. This study included 200 patients who underwent elective or emergency surgeries under anesthesia from April 2019 to June 2019. The long-form questionnaire was prepared based on various references and validated in our department. Results: Out of 200 patients, 76.5% (n = 153) were satisfied with anaesthesia services. Male gender [87.03% (n = 94/108)], younger [86.66% (78/90)] and literate patients [ 88.52% (108 pts/122)] were more satisfied. Better satisfaction was recorded in patients who had regional anaesthesia [85.18% (92/108)] and no complain of post-operative pain [83.58% (112/134)] or postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) [87.90% (109/124)]. Patients with intraoperative awareness were less satisfied. Conclusion: In our study group, type of anaesthesia, postoperative pain, PONV, and intraoperative awareness were factors that affected patient satisfaction.
