Pediatric anesthesia & critical care
Quality comparison of remote anesthetic consultation versus on‐site consultation in children with sedation for a magnetic resonance imaging examination—A randomized controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
We did not observe that combined telephone and video decreased the quality of pre-anesthesia consultation.
Study context
- Population
- Children receiving cardiac or neuro magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) under sedation, and their parents
- Participants
- 200 children
- Comparison
- Remote pre-anaesthesia consultation vs on-site consultation
- Primary endpoint
- Satisfaction (parents and anesthesiologists) with the general procedure, quality of pre-anesthesia consultation and contact
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Satisfaction
- High levels of satisfaction in both groups
- Some anesthesiologists and parents less satisfied with quality of on-site than remote consultation
Further findings
Preference for repeat anesthesia (combined telephone and online video)
- Parents who would choose combined telephone and video
- 61.2%
- Anesthesiologists who would choose combined telephone and video
- 64%
Safety
- No evidence for higher risk of complications with telephone information
