Summary

This study looked at whether a video call (telemedicine) is as good as an in-person visit for checking a patient's health before surgery. 172 adults scheduled for surgery at a French hospital took part. Researchers compared how well each method assessed surgical risk, reviewed medications, and checked for breathing tube difficulty. The goal was to see if telemedicine could safely replace face-to-face consultations.
