Pregnancy anesthesia Check-Ups: can a video call replace a hospital visit?
NCT ID NCT07542197
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare the quality of pre-anesthesia consultations done by video call versus in-person for pregnant women. 250 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. The main goal is to see if the video consultation misses any important safety information needed before delivery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- teleconsultation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that teleconsultation is as effective as in-person visits for pre-anesthesia checks in pregnancy, potentially reducing travel and environmental impact.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (250 people) comparing two consultation methods, not testing a new treatment. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
