Telemedicine Anesthesia Consultation, Pilot Study in Obstetrics.

Pilot study in Lower Normandy concerning a total of 90 patients scheduled for a pre-anaesthesia consultation in obstetrics. These parturients who plan to give birth at the maternity hospital of the CHU will be invited to carry out their anesthesia consultation with a view to childbirth either by way of the telemedicine cabin installed in Dozulé, or by way of the telemedicine trolley installed in a center close to their place of residence, or at the CHU de Caen as usual.

The validation of the adequacy of the possibilities of telemedicine with the requirements of the anesthesia consultation worked upstream is the main objective of this work, the appreciation of the parturient at this consultation, the appreciation of the consulting and validating professionals will also be collected with the aim of a maximum optimization of this new offer intended for the region.
