Teleconsultation (TLC) being a new method of anesthesia consultation, deployed as an emergency in healthcare facilities in the Covid context, it has never been evaluated either in terms of feasibility or in terms of quality. An initial assessment will highlight the pitfalls and difficulties encountered and suggest areas for improvement.
The evaluation of teleconsultation in pediatric anesthesia, a new consultation method
developed in the context of COVID for several weeks, appears necessary and will be a first
inventory after its implementation in France. Analysis of the data collected in this study
will allow us to propose technical, medical and organizational solutions to optimize the
positioning and practical use of TLC for patients and care facilities. This assessment step
seems imperative if the Covid context persists over time but could also be useful for the
development of TLC outside the Covid context.
