Brief Title: Comparing Pre-Anesthesia Evaluation Via Telemedicine Versus in Person for Surgical Patients at Moffitt Cancer Center
Official Title: A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Pre-Anesthesia Evaluation Remotely Via Telemedicine Versus in Person for Surgical Patients at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center
Study ID: NCT05065944
Brief Summary: 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.
