Feasibility and Quality of TeleConsultation in Pediatric Anesthesia

Teleconsultation (TLC) being a new method of anesthesia consultation, deployed as an emergency in healthcare facilities in the Covid context, it has never been evaluated either in terms of feasibility or in terms of quality. An initial assessment will highlight the pitfalls and difficulties encountered and suggest areas for improvement.

About this study

The evaluation of teleconsultation in pediatric anesthesia, a new consultation method developed in the context of COVID for several weeks, appears necessary and will be a first inventory after its implementation in France. Analysis of the data collected in this study will allow us to propose technical, medical and organizational solutions to optimize the positioning and practical use of TLC for patients and care facilities. This assessment step seems imperative if the Covid context persists over time but could also be useful for the development of TLC outside the Covid context.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

All patients under the age of 18 requiring an anesthesia consultation for an act requiring anesthesia
whose deprogramming in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic would lead to a loss of opportunity for the patient,
Or whose programming in the context of the Covid 19 pandemic is in accordance with the recommendations made in field of the Professional Practice Recommendations
And for which the family and the anesthetist have agreed to carry out the consultation by telemedicine

Exclusion criteria

Patient whose anesthesia consultation is performed face-to-face as a first-line decision
Family refusing teleconsultation

Treatment and study plan

Teleconsultation

Other

In the pandemic period linked to COVID, pediatric pre-anesthesis consultations should preferably be carried out by teleconsultation. This is to assess the effectiveness of these teleconsultation and the satisfaction of parents.

Primary outcomes

assess the feasibility of teleconsultation (TLC) in pediatric anesthesia in France in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic.

Time frame: 3 months

The feasibility of anesthesia TLC will be assessed by the failure rate of anesthesia TLC, defined by the conversion rate to degraded TLC (use of an unsecured video medium such as WhatsApp or simple audio communication without video support) or in face-to-face consultation
