Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  ANESTHESIA COUNSELLING  Patients will be allocated to the AC group, apart from surgical counselling that will receive preoperative anesthesia counselling. For anesthesia counselling, the patients in this group will receive a pre-operative phone call by the primary investigator a day prior to surgery. They will be advised for overnight fasting before the surgery and abstinence from both alcohol and smoking. The patient will be explained about the anesthesia technique that will be administered to them. On day of surgery, 15 minutes before shifting to operation theatre, again patient will be counselled about anesthesia. The patient will be told about their transfer to operation theatre, application of all the routine monitors [also advanced monitor required if any], detail of induction of anesthesia, maintenance of anesthesia and emergence from anesthesia. We will also explain about the transference back to postoperative area after surgery and postoperative care and monitoring of vitals there. 
Comparator Agent  STANDARD CARE  Patients will be allocated to the control group and will receive conventional perioperative care based on institutional practice as described in Appendix 4 Preoperatively patients will be counselled regarding the risk and benefit of the surgery and for abstinence from both alcohol and smoking. Patient will be advised for overnight fasting before the surgery.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

There has been an increased interest on the patient’s perioperative course to improve overall outcome while undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Hospitalization is a painful process which disturbs the physical and psychological wellbeing of the patient. [1] Studies have shown that lack of preparation for surgery, postoperative symptomology, and negative thoughts and beliefs are significantly associated with psychiatric morbidities. [2] Keeping this in mind many enhanced recovery after surgery [ERAS] protocol for various surgical procedures have been introduced in the past. [3-8] Preoperative counselling has been part of many of these ERAS protocols, but little has been discussed about it in detail as to how counselling can improve patients experience during perioperative period. Anesthesia being an integral part of any surgical procedure, its preoperative counselling has never been part of any of these ERAS protocols. It is forlorn to find that apart from surgical counselling, this additional counselling has been given less importance. According to World health Organization [WHO] Global Health Estimate, tens of millions of patients undergo general anesthesia (GA) across the world every year. [9] That makes it more important to emphasise that preoperative anesthesia counselling should be done in every patient who undergoes surgery under general anesthesia. This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative counselling regarding anesthesia technique and its impact on postoperative recovery.
