Pre-Anesthesia evaluation conducted remotely via video conferencing

Pre-Anesthesia evaluation conducted in person

Pre-anesthesia assessment (history and physical examination) via telemedicine. Intervention is a one-time telemedicine clinic visit for approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour. Individual patients will be randomized to telemedicine and that visit will be scheduled via the Zoom video conferencing platform.

This is a randomized controlled trial of patients scheduled for hysterectomy or prostatectomy surgeries who undergo a pre-anesthesia evaluation at Moffitt Cancer Center PreAnesthesia Testing (PAT) clinic. Traditionally, patients who met certain criteria based on type of surgery or comorbidities would undergo an in-person evaluation in our clinic. In order to make our patient's care more convenient and accessible, investigators have introduced telemedicine evaluation for a certain subset of patients meeting specific criteria. Investigators aim with this randomized trial to investigate the hypothesis that telemedicine pre-anesthesia evaluation is non-inferior to in-person evaluation from the standpoint of day of surgery cancellation rate.

Comparing Pre-Anesthesia Evaluation Via Telemedicine Versus in Person for Surgical Patients at Moffitt Cancer Center

A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Pre-Anesthesia Evaluation Remotely Via Telemedicine Versus in Person for Surgical Patients at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center

Acceptability of pre-anesthesia telemedicine evaluation will be measured as ≥ 50% of eligible patients consent to participate and ≥ 70% submit exit survey.

Acceptability will be measured as ≥ 70% strongly agreeing or agreeing with the statement that they were satisfied with their telemedicine visit on an exit survey.

Efficacy of pre-anesthesia evaluation via telemedicine will be determined by day of surgery and 48 hours before surgery cancellation rate (number of cancelled appointments divided by number of scheduled appointments).
