Key result
Tele-anaesthesia via a virtual private network was successfully performed in 25 adult patients, with 100% of the 888 anaesthetic commands completed.
Why the study?
Does tele-anaesthesia via VPN and FaceTime allow accurate command execution and adequate technical performance in adult patients?
Does tele-anaesthesia via VPN and FaceTime allow accurate command execution and adequate technical performance in adult patients?
Tele-anaesthesia using VPN and free videoconferencing software is feasible and allowed for 100% completion of remote anaesthetic commands in a pilot study.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support remote anesthesia feasibility in isolated settings; leaves open validation in larger trials before clinical adoption.
Miyashita et al. (2014) studied patients requiring anaesthesia (n=25). Tele-anaesthesia via virtual private network was evaluated on completion of anaesthetic commands. Tele-anaesthesia via a virtual private network was successfully performed in 25 adult patients, with 100% of the 888 anaesthetic commands completed.
