Table 1 Overview of key studies
From: Advances in telemedicine implementation for preoperative assessment: a call to action
Kamdar NV et.al | Illustrates the execution of a preoperative anesthesia evaluation via telemedicine at an academic medical center, resulting in high patient satisfaction, cost savings, and no rise in day-of-procedure case cancellations |
Aldawoodi NN et.al | Shows that conducting preanesthesia evaluations through telemedicine leads to savings in time, distance, and finances, all while maintaining consistent day-of-surgery cancellation rates |
Hayasaka T et.al | In this study deep learning has been applied to classify intubation challenges, using an AI model with high accuracy and sensitivity |
Wong DT et.al | In this study telemedicine technology has been employed to predict mouth opening, Mallampati score, neck movement, thyromental distance, neck movement and to perform a heart and lungs assessment. Devices such as airway camera and digital stethoscope were utilized |
Bhanvadia RR et.al | Examines the safety of exclusively utilizing telehealth for preoperative consultations preceding minimally invasive urologic procedures |
Morau E et.al | Illustrates how Pre-anesthesia teleconsultation (PATC) is not inferior to pre-anesthesia consultation (PAC) for preoperative patient evaluation and how it may be a valid alternative to it |
Applegate RL et.al | This article explores the impact of telemedicine pre-anesthesia evaluation on perioperative processes, highlighting patient satisfaction and time and cost saving benefits |
Khera KD et.al | The aim of this study was to identify patient-related factors where a face to face (FTF) evaluation is indicated, over telemedicine evaluation |
