根据德克萨斯大学健康科学中心的一项新研究的结果,远程医疗的任命与面对面的访问相结合大大降低了医学复杂病例的进一步疾病的风险(beplay苹果手机能用吗Uthealth)。

该研究发表在儿科

患有医学复杂病例的儿童需要对遗传疾病,喂养困难和发育延迟等疾病等疾病进行严格的护理监督。这些儿童通常依靠诸如喂食管或气管施工等技术 - 插入喉咙中的管以帮助在肺部提供空气。

“一开始,我们担心通过远程医疗而不是在诊所看到孩子。”里卡多蚊子,医学博士, associate professor of肺医学在Uthealth的McGovern医学院和该研究的通讯作者。“这些患者中的大多数都有喂养管或气管托管,因此我们不知道会如何进行。但是,我认为我们发现的是有希望的。我认为提供者知道远程医疗的约会同样有效。他们不一定总是将高风险的患者带到诊所。”

Using a randomized approach, researchers assessed 422 patients between 2018 and 2020. Half of the patients in the study received traditional care and the other half received comprehensive care plus telemedicine visits.

与刚刚接受传统护理的患者相比,接受远程医疗和综合护理的患者需要额外的严重疾病护理99%。

蚊子,儿科肺科医生UT医生高风险儿童诊所说,在当前的199年大流行和其他传染性和季节性疾病暴发期间,减少对高风险儿童的暴露尤为重要。

“儿童医学复杂病例嗨gher risk of becoming severely ill. So, being able to assess these patients from their home, where they are less likely to be exposed to public areas or other critically ill patients, is important in reducing their risk. With telemedicine, we are able to provide care a lot faster. We are more proactive with prescribing medication right then and there. If a patient needs a quick telemedicine appointment Friday afternoon, I will assess them and they don’t have to wait the weekend to be seen, and there is no delay in getting the medication they need,” he said.

Mosquera says telemedicine should not replace critical in-person visits.

“仍然需要亲自进行一些约会。但这可以确保提供者甚至父母都可以亲自和远程医疗。不必亲自看到患者就能获得良好的结果。结果将是相同甚至更好的,因为它们两者都会遇到进一步的疾病的可能性。”蚊子说。
