Summary

The anesthesia safety decree made it compulsory in 1994 to carry out a pre-anesthesia consultation before any operative or interventional act. With the inclusion of telemedicine in the Public Health Code then the publication of Addendum 6 in 2018 and finally the derogatory decree in March 2020, it is possible to perform and bill for pre-anesthesia consultation via telemedicine. The consultation is always followed by a pre-anesthetic visit upon admission of the patient the day before or the day of the operation to verify the information recorded during the consultation and the patient's state of health. This identifies elements omitted during the pre-anesthesia consultation (face-to-face or remotely) and reduces the risks of potential postponement. The study investigators hypothesize that there would be no difference in the quality of the information given, the collection of medical, paramedical and medication elements and the evaluation of the operative risk in anesthesia consultation via teleconsultation versus face-to-face. The critical points are the medication reconciliation of the patient's treatments, the overall assessment of the operative risk and anticipated difficulty of access to the airways (mouth opening: ≥ or \<35 mmm).
