Video vs. in-person anesthesia check before surgery
This trial compares a video call with a face-to-face meeting for your pre-surgery anesthesia check. The goal is to see if the video option works just as well, which could save you a trip to the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether pregnant patients can have their pre-anesthesia consultation with a doctor by video call instead of in person before giving birth. Researchers want to see if this is safe, convenient, and helpful for expectant mothers.
This study tests whether using an AI chatbot (like ChatGPT) during your pre-surgery visit with the anesthesiologist helps improve the process. You would need to have a planned, non-heart surgery and meet with your anesthesiologist in person.
This trial tests if watching virtual reality during regional anesthesia for planned arm or leg surgery can lower the need for calming medicine. It may help you feel more relaxed without as many drugs.
This trial tests whether a video call before surgery works as well as an in-person hospital visit for checking breathing risks in children getting their tonsils or adenoids removed. It may help families avoid extra trips to the hospital.
This trial studies whether teleconsultations (phone/video check-ins) are safe for patients who can be followed without in-person exams. It may help people who find hospital or clinic visits hard, by checking that remote care works well and is not risky.
This trial tests if a live parent-child video chat or a cartoon before surgery can reduce agitation when a child wakes up from anesthesia. It may help children aged 2-6 who are having planned surgery.
