Objective: To demonstrate the level of pre-operative anxiety between patients who had the preanesthetic assessment performend prior to the day of the surgery in the preanesthetic consultation vs. the ones who had it performed in the presurgical area the day of the surgery. Materials and Methods: An Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale assessment (APAIS) was performed among patients scheduled for elective surgery, identifying in the preoperative area those who attended the preanesthetic consultation for prior preanesthetic assessment and the one who doesn’t, and after 2 to 24 hours postanesthesia, the patient satisfaction were evaluated through a questionnaire about the anesthesiologist-patient relationship, the, anesthetic management, and the postanesthetic satisfaction. Results: From 64 patients, the APAIS revealed that 40.60% evaluated in the preanesthetic consultation did not present pre-operative anxiety, and 75% of those who did not attend the preanesthetic consultation presented pre-operative anxiety. 60.93% of the patients were female. 42.19% of patients were undergoing major surgery, 54.68% of patients had an anesthetic risk according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists scale. The specialty with the fewest previous preanesthetic evaluations was general surgery (64.29%). The most used anesthetic technique was general balanced anesthesia (30.16%). 25% of the patients with previous evaluations had predictive data of difficult airway. The highest score on anesthesiologist-patient attention was nine, mainly those previously assessed in the consultation. Conclusion: Previous preanesthetic consultation decreases pre-operative anxiety. More than half of the population felt satisfied with the anesthesia.
