Remote collaboration for anesthesia requires considerable sharing of physiologic data, audio, and images on a consistent data platform. A low-bandwidth connection between Ecuador and the United States supported effective joint management of operative plan, airway, intraoperative decisions, and recovery. Transmission with a 64-Kbps InMarSat satellite telephone (Thrane & Thrane, Denmark) connection from hospitals in Macas and Sucúa, Ecuador, to Richmond, Virginia, included preoperative patient…

Telemedicine consultation and monitoring for pediatric liver transplant.
TLDR
The use of telemedicine is described to support two cases of elective living related pediatric liver transplants performed at the Narayana Hrudayalaya Institute of Medical Sciences in Bangalore, India with preoperative and intraoperative consultation provided by physicians at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Telemedicine and telepresence for prehospital and remote hospital tracheal intubation using a GlideScope™ videolaryngoscope: a model for tele-intubation.
TLDR
Videolaryngoscopes allows for assistance with remote tracheal intubation and should be strongly considered as a component of teletrauma and telepresence programs to assist with difficult airway management.
Internet remote control of pump settings for postoperative continuous peripheral nerve blocks: a feasibility study in 59 patients.
Video Technology to Advance Safety in the Operating Room and Perioperative Environment
TLDR
An overview of uses of video in health care by the authors and others in several institutions in the context of team work training, operating room coordination, technical skills of invasive procedures, process improvement, telementoring, and multimedia video records is illustrated.
Telemedicine in anesthesia: an update
TLDR
Current programs offer services ranging from remote preoperative evaluation to international collaboration for intraoperative management and consultation, and simulation using telemedicine services can provide educational opportunities and test the effectiveness of institutions' communications systems.
Robotic telepresence: past, present, and future.
TLDR
For the purposes of this review, the discussion is limited to telemedicine that uses real-time video telecommunication capabilities.
To Infinity and Beyond: The Past, Present, and Future of Tele-Anesthesia
TLDR
This article seeks to review comprehensively the available literature related to the use of telemedicine within the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of anesthetic care as well as analyze the major hurdles often encountered when implementing a teleconsultation service.
A pilot study of tele-anaesthesia by virtual private network between an island hospital and a mainland hospital in Japan
TLDR
The accuracy of the commands given during teleanaesthesia was investigated: any commands from the anaesthetist at the YCUH that were not carried out for any reason, were recorded in the anaesthetic records at the SGH.
Telemedicine and anaesthesia
TLDR
There are few reports in the literature which support the use of telemedicine technology for pre-operative assessment, intra-operative consultation, monitoring and post-operative follow-up, which is discussed in this article.
Teleconsulting in the time of a global pandemic: Application to anesthesia and technological considerations.
TLDR
This guide uses a dentistry case to illustrate the provision of real-time anesthesia consulting, with a focus on the technological considerations central to facilitating live, 2-way video-communication.

Case report of remote anesthetic monitoring using telemedicine.
TLDR
Vital signs, data, and video were transmitted from surgery conducted in the remote Amazonian rainforests of Ecuador to Richmond, VA, validates the use of telecommunications technology from a remote location to monitor an anesthetic event.
Real-time ECG transmission via Internet for nonclinical applications
TLDR
The purpose of the system is the provision of extended monitoring for patients under drug therapy after infarction, data collection in some particular cases, remote consultation and low-cost ECG monitoring for the elderly.
In-flight continuous vital signs telemetry via the Internet.
TLDR
Close monitoring of the patient can lead to a better understanding and assessment of a medical condition, improve in-flight patient care, accelerate the decision making process by making an early diagnosis, and correct a life-threatening condition before the patient arrives at the destination.
Telementoring and Teleproctoring
TLDR
A telementoring deployment protocol is developed that can be effectively used to introduce a student to telementored processes and uses military commands to facilitate smooth information transfer.
Real-Time Internet Connections: Implications for Surgical Decision Making in Laparoscopy
TLDR
Low-bandwidth, Internet-based telemedicine is inexpensive, effective, and almost ubiquitous and use of these inexpensive, portable technologies will allow sharing of surgical procedures and decisions regardless of location.
Wireless ECG monitoring by telephone.
TLDR
Electrocardiogram screening can be significantly simplified and made widely acceptable at home and distant sites using wireless monitoring tools and telephone line transfer of the signal.
The benefits of integrating Internet technology with standard communications for telemedicine in extreme environments.
TLDR
By integrating the Internet, ubiquitous switching technologies and off-the-shelf tools, this "suite of services" could provide a topology to enable remote monitoring in extreme and remote locations.
The physiologic cipher at altitude: telemedicine and real-time monitoring of climbers on Mount Everest.
TLDR
Field testing in the extreme environment of Mount Everest demonstrated an ability to track in real time both vital signs and position of climbers, however, these systems must be more reliable and robust.
Telehealth and the diagnosis and management of cardiac disease
TLDR
There is a need for properly controlled cost-effectiveness trials to underpin telehealth with a firm evidence base, although there are indications that telehealth services can improve the management of chronic cardiac disease as well as extend services to remote and rural populations.
Impact of varying transmission bandwidth on image quality.
TLDR
Investigating the effect of varying transmission bandwidth on image quality in laparoscopic surgery found that decreasing transmission bandwidth does not significantly affect image clarity or color fidelity when sufficient time is allowed for the algorithms to redraw the remote image.
