目的:报告远程医疗使用动态压缩机系统治疗胸膜患者的可行性和满意率。我们分析了与以前相比的治疗依从性,非大流行年。
方法:回顾性分析,包括在两家医院的胸壁中心使用远程医疗的动态压缩机系统治疗的胸膜患者,私人和公共,2020年4月至7月。采用了免费的电视电话会议平台。我们通过远程医疗评估了胸膜病例的发生率,动态压缩机系统处方的数量,校正阶段的患者数量,以及结束治疗的人数。为了评估依从性,我们将我们的队列与前一个相同时间范围内的当面队列进行了比较,非大流行年。此外,我们进行了患者满意度调查,包括与社会经济地位有关的问题,远程医疗的可喜性,系统修改的简单性,并希望在大流行后继续使用心电。
结果:在76例患者中进行了136次心传咨询。在这段时间里,15名患者开始使用动态压缩机系统。与以前相比,非大流行年,每位患者的咨询次数相似(2019年:1.92±1.0vs.2020年:1.79±0.8,p=0.32),并且使用远程医疗的辍学人数显着减少(9%与1%,p=0.025)。59名患者回答了满意度调查。他们都通过远程医疗解决了他们的疑虑。总的来说,95%的人认为远程医疗舒适。值得注意的是,那些收入较低的人证明了继续远程医疗的最高意愿。
结论:我们证明了使用动态压缩机系统远程护理的可行性,与现场医疗相比,其咨询频率相似。无论其社会经济状况如何,Telepectus患者的满意度都很高。

OBJECTIVE: To report telemedicine\'s feasibility and satisfaction rates for treating patients with pectus carinatum using a dynamic compressor system. We analyzed treatment adherence in comparison with the previous, non-pandemic year.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis including patients with pectus carinatum under treatment with a dynamic compressor system using telemedicine at the chest wall centers from two hospitals, private and public, between April and July 2020. A free video conference platform for teleconsultations was employed. We evaluated the incidence of pectus cases with telemedicine, the number of dynamic compressor system prescriptions, the number of patients in the correction phase, and the number who ended treatment. To assess adherence, we compared our cohort with an in-person cohort during the same time frame of the previous, non-pandemic year. In addition, we performed a patient satisfaction survey comprising questions related to socioeconomic status, the likeability of telemedicine, simplicity of modification of the system, and desire to continue with telepectus after the pandemic.
RESULTS: One hundred and thirty-six telepectus consultations were performed in 76 patients. During this time frame, 15 patients started using the dynamic compressor system. Compared to the previous, non-pandemic year, the number of consultations per patient was similar (2019: 1.92 ± 1 .0 vs. 2020: 1.79 ± 0.8, p = 0.32), and there was a significant reduction in the number of dropouts with the use of telemedicine (9% vs. 1%, p = 0.025). Fifty-nine patients answered the satisfaction survey. All of them solved their doubts through telemedicine. Overall, 95% found telemedicine comfortable. Of note, those with a lower income evidenced the highest intention in continuing with telemedicine.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated the feasibility of remote care of patients with pectus carinatum using a dynamic compressor system with a similar frequency of consultations compared to in-person medical care. Telepectus patients revealed a high rate of satisfaction irrespective of their socioeconomic status.
