The Anaesthesiological Questionnaire (ANP) is a self-rating method for the assessment of postoperative complaints and patient satisfaction. The questionnaire was adapted for use in cardiac anaesthesia (ANP-KA). The study was conducted to show the value of ANP-KA as a practicable means of assessing the patient's state after cardiac anaesthesia and for its use in quality assurance. ⋯ The results demonstrate the practicability and validity of the ANP-KA for the assessment of postoperative complaints and patient satisfaction after cardiac surgery.
