It affects the outcome of patient; long term hospital stays and helps in optimizing medical condition. Unfortunately, anaesthesia and Pac is still not well understood among people mostly in rural areas. People don’t have the concept behind pac. This study was conducted in a secondary health institute civil hospital Palampur on patients coming for various elective surgeries. A modified Singla and Mangla questionnaire was asked to fill by these patients. It was found that most of the people don’t know who is going to perform Pac and they think it is just needed to get date of surgery. we found in our study that during Pac we should explain the patients about need to do Pac, why the surgery is being cancelled and need of optimizing medical conditions before going to surgery. This would help in making people understand importance of Pac and anaesthesia during surgery.
