What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Preanestes@s, a web-based application designed to guide patients through the preoperative process. Participants will be assessed either through this application or via traditional outpatient interviews. The app includes a preoperative questionnaire that helps determine necessary tests and directs patients to either virtual or face-to-face consultations with anesthesiologists. The goal is to compare the incidence of suboptimal preoperative assessments between the two methods.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients undergoing day surgery in specialties such as ENT, general surgery, or orthopedics without significant comorbidities.
Not a fit: Patients requiring urgent procedures or those unable to understand informed consent may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could streamline preoperative assessments and improve patient outcomes by ensuring more accurate evaluations.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using digital tools for preoperative assessments, indicating potential success for this approach.
