“…Since other even more elaborate and expensive methods such as large exhibitions, national anaesthesia days, or increased coverage on radio and television also failed to enhance patients' knowledge, the focus is once again on the relationship between the patient and anaesthetist.If we wish to improve the role and recognition of anaesthetists for patients and/or the public, the anaesthetist must be visible for the patients as a true physician in the pre-and postoperative period.To improve this important patient-anaesthetist relationship, we generally absent, or is a shadowy figure occasionally seen lifting the mask from an anaesthetised face, telling a sweatbeaded surgeon that the patient has had it, and then standing by open-mouthed while the hero sets to work, attempting to restore life with his rubber-gloved hands..." [16]. So wusste nur die Hälfte der befragten Patienten in einer damaligen Studie, dass der Anästhesist ein ausgebildeter Arzt ist [12]. Seit dieser Zeit haben sich verschiedene Autoren mit dem Bild des Anästhesisten bei Patienten und in der Öffentlichkeit befasst [5,6,8,9,17,29].Vor allem Studien aus dem angelsächsischen Raum belegen das immer noch ungenügende Verständnis von Patienten für die Aufgaben der Anästhe-sisten, obwohl eine allmähliche Zunahme des Wissenstandes verzeichnet werden kann [11,13].…”

“…Seit den 30er-Jahren wird in regelmäßi-gen Abständen über die mangelnde Wertschätzung der Arbeit und Weiterbildung der Anästhesisten berichtet [5,6,7,8,9,11,12,13,16,17,24,29,31,35]. In den jeweiligen Arbeiten findet man die unterschiedlichsten Vorschläge zur Verbesserung des Berufsbildes der Anästhe-sisten bei Ärzten anderer Fachgebiete und bei Patienten.…”
