The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in significant challenges to the provision of face-to-face clinics in geriatric perioperative care (G-POC). There are no studies evaluating the use of telemedicine in this population. A pilot study at North Bristol NHS Trust demonstrated that delivery of GPOC clinics via video consultation was feasible, but did not record outcome measures to demonstrate effectiveness and was not compared to face to face clinic. This study aims to provide proof of concept examining the outcomes of virtual G-POC consultations, compared to a face-to-face clinic, using standardised perioperative outcomes. It will test the feasibility of the intervention with a view to developing a randomised controlled trial.

VIGIL - 老年干预诊所视频：一项随机对照可行性试验方案，比较针对老年人的专业术前诊所的面对面和视频交付

Covid-19 大流行给老年围手术期护理 (G-POC) 中面对面诊所的提供带来了重大挑战。没有研究评估远程医疗在这一人群中的使用情况。北布里斯托尔 NHS 信托基金的一项试点研究表明，通过视频咨询提供 GPOC 诊所是可行的，但没有记录结果措施来证明有效性，也没有与面对面诊所进行比较。本研究旨在提供概念验证，使用标准化围手术期结果，与面对面诊所进行比较，检查虚拟 G-POC 咨询的结果。它将测试干预措施的可行性，以开展随机对照试验。
