Since the publication of the law " Hôpital, Patients, Santé, Territoire " of 2009 in France, the development of telemedicine is a public health issue. It is also a government priority registered in the government investment plan of 2017-2018. The quality of preanesthesia teleconsultation at home, through video-conference, has never been tested in practice.The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of preanesthesia teleconsultations through video-conference, compared with traditional preanesthesia consultations. The quality is established by the assessment of the primary outcome : the risks related to difficult intubation, in patients undergoing ambulatory surgery at the Surgical Center Emile Galle. Our research hypothesis is that there is no difference between the quality of preanesthesia teleconsultations through video-conference, and the quality of traditional preanesthesia consultations. Secondary objectives are to identify satisfaction and preoperative anxiety of patients regarding teleconsultation, to identify satisfaction of practioners regarding teleconsultation, to evaluate the quality (based on the assessment of secondary outcomes) of preanesthesia teleconsultations compared with traditional preanesthesia consultations, and to evaluate the technical viability of generalising preanesthesia teleconsultation.

According to his allocated group, patient will have a teleconsultation at home/at work with an anaesthesiologist.
According to his allocated group, patient will have a traditional consultation with an anaesthesiologist in the surgical center Emile Galle.
Agreement concerning the risk of difficult intubation between preanesthesia consultation and visit.
The quality of a preanesthesia consultation (teleconsultations or traditional consultations) is considered to be correct when the result (presence or lack of difficult intubation risks) is consistent with the result of the preanesthesia visit (before surgery.) If yes from 2 of the 4 following propositions about predictable intubation difficulty ( mallampi score \> II (yes/no), previous difficult intubation (yes/no), oral opening \<30mm (yes/no), distance thyro-mentonnière \< 65mm. (yes/no)), the predictable intubation will be difficult.
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Agreement between preanesthesia consultation and visit concerning the risk of difficult mask ventilation
The quality of a preanesthesia consultation (teleconsultations or traditional consultations) is considered to be correct when the result (presence or lack of difficult mask ventilation risks) is consistent with the result of the preanesthesia visit (before surgery.) If yes from 2 of the 4 following propositions about predictable mask ventilation difficulty ( patient with a barbe (yes/no), BMI\>26 kg/m2 (yes/no), edentulous patient (yes/no), an age \> 55 years old (yes/no)), snoring (yes/no), the predictable mask ventilation will be difficult.
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Agreement between preanesthesia consultation and visit concerning the evaluation of "American Society of Anesthesiologists" (ASA) score of the patient
The quality of a preanesthesia consultation (teleconsultations or traditional consultations) is considered to be correct when the result (ASA score of the patient) is consistent with the result of the preanesthesia visit (before surgery.)
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Agreement between preanesthesia consultation and visit concerning correct treatment management.
The quality of a preanesthesia consultation (teleconsultations or traditional consultations) is considered to be correct when the result (treatment management : interruption, continuation, relay) is consistent with the result of the preanesthesia visit (before surgery.)
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Agreement between preanesthesia consultation and visit concerning completeness of preoperative workup
The quality of a preanesthesia consultation (teleconsultations or traditional consultations) is considered to be correct when the result (preoperative workup : complete blood count (CBC) with platelet or/and coagulation factors or/and ionograms or/and blood group, or/and consultation with a specialist physician ) is consistent with the result of the preanesthesia visit (before surgery.)
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Satisfaction of anesthesiologist
Satisfaction of anesthesiologist, who realized teleconsultation, tested by visual analogue scale : from 0 to 10 (poor to good results), in comparison with traditional consultation
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Satisfaction of patient
Satisfaction of patient, who attended teleconsultation, tested by visual analogue scale : from 0 to 10 (poor to good results) in comparison with traditional consultation
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Preoperative anxiety of patient
Preoperative anxiety of patient, who attended teleconsultation, tested by amsterdam scale (APAIS), in comparison with traditional consultation
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
Calculation of a ratio to evaluate the technical viability of generalising preanesthesia teleconsultation
evaluate the technical viability of generalising preanesthesia teleconsultation, with calculation of ratio : number of randomized patients in group " preanesthesia teleconsultation ", who finally get a teleconsultation / number of randomized patients in group " preanesthesia teleconsultation. " The higher the ratio, the higher the teleconsultation can be considered as a generalisable care practice.
Time frame: 1 day before surgery or baseline (J0 = surgery day)
