Summary

The goal of this RCT is to assess the effectiveness of a mobile application in enhancing the preoperative preparation of patients scheduled for elective surgery under anesthesia or procedural sedation. The main object is to evaluate the effect of preoperative instructions, delivered through reminders and push notifications, on the rate of late cancellations. Secondary outcomes are adherence to preoperative instructions, patient satisfaction, and care provider satisfaction.

  • Rate of Late Cancellation
  • Patient Adherence to Preoperative Instructions
  • Patient Satisfaction
  • Care Givers Satisfaction

Interventions

DEVICE

Mobile application for preoperative patient guidance

The mobile application provides patients with tailored information during the preoperative period until seven days after surgery. 1) Before the preoperative outpatient clinic visits, patient will receive information regarding the preoperative screening process and an overview of available anesthesia techniques through videos embedded in the app. 2) After approval for surgery and during the period leading up to the day of surgery, they will receive instructions concerning medication adjustment, lifestyle modifications, fasting rules, and hygiene measures.

DEVICE

Mobile application and standard care

Patients in the control group will be asked to download the same mobile app but they will not receive the same tailored information as those in the intervention group. Instead, they will be provided with standard preoperative information and instructions. In addition, they will be asked to fill out the same questionnaire as the intervention group.
