This article contains information on patients and their verbal consent on anesthesia before a

surgery. The credibility of this article comes from the fact that the authors are from the

Department of Anesthesia and Gynecology. This article has many references and was also

written and revised in 2011. I can use this source in my paper because I will be talking about the

knowledge that some patients have of anesthesia, before undergoing a surgery. I will also touch

on how patients dont get a say in choosing regional or general anesthesia. (91 words)

This article explores the difference in using Regional Anesthesia versus General Anesthesia. This

article was published in 2016. This article is credible because the authors are employed by the

Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care and the Department of Surgical and Perioperative

Sciences, Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, Unit of Research. Therefore, the authors work with
anesthesia daily. I can use this source in my paper because I can lay out the benefits of a specific

anesthesia, yet use the information about the opposite type as a counter argument. (88 words)

This source gives information and data on back pain after having a spinal anesthesia injection. I

negative. Since this article is more specific, I can also use it as an example to show the pros and

cons of general and regional anesthesia. This article also contains a data set. This source is

credible because it was written and revised by many doctors. It also has a reference page of its

own. (80 words)

and why it is used on so many patients. This article also has information that I can use as

examples to show these pros and cons. This source is credible because it contains an abstract,

methods, results, and a conclusion. This article was written in 2015 and contains different types

of data. (87 words)
