Key result
Telemedicine provides a feasible and effective approach for preoperative assessment and remote anesthetic monitoring, offering particular advantages in the perioperative management of obese patients.
Why the study?
Does telemedicine facilitate perioperative management and preoperative assessment in obese patients?
Does telemedicine facilitate perioperative management and preoperative assessment in obese patients?
Telemedicine offers a feasible and effective approach for the preoperative assessment and remote anesthetic management of obese patients, potentially overcoming geographical barriers.
Positive patient perceptions support telemedicine feasibility in anesthesia; leaves open validation for safety, outcomes, and transcontinental use.
Telemedicine is defined as the delivery of health care and the share of medical knowledge over distance using telecommunications systems. One of the main purposes of telemedicine is to improve accessibility to specialty consultation in remote areas and to reduce the costs of traditional health practices. Telemedicine is used in preoperative assessment and in anesthesia with positive perceptions by patients. Furthermore the possibility to realize transcontinental anesthesia, represents the pathway through which geographical barriers will be no longer limiting factors in high quality health care delivery.

Nora Terrasini (2013) conducted a review in Obesity requiring perioperative management. Telemedicine vs. Traditional in-person care was evaluated. Telemedicine provides a feasible and effective approach for preoperative assessment and remote anesthetic monitoring, offering particular advantages in the perioperative management of obese patients.
