Abstract
We report a case supporting the use of telecommunications technology from a remote location to monitor anesthetic events. Vital signs, data, and video were transmitted from surgery conducted in the remote Amazonian rainforests of Ecuador to Richmond, VA. This application of telemedicine technologies makes available expert advice from remote locations during surgical procedures. This study validates the use of telecommunications technology from a remote location to monitor an anesthetic event. This type of work makes expert advice available during surgical procedures.
