RESUMEN En la actualidad, la selección y uso correcto de los diferentes métodos de imágenes disponibles (ecografía, tomografía axial computada y resonancia magnética) constituye uno de los pilares fundamentales para el adecuado proceso diagnóstico en ginecología. Para la mayoría de las patologías benignas que comprometen al aparato genital femenino, la ecografía transvaginal es una herramienta sensible, de fácil acceso, costo-efectiva y por tanto debiese constituir el método inicial de elección. Sin embargo, su eficacia depende de que el operador sea entrenado y experimentado en su interpretación. El uso de la tomografía computada (TC) y la resonancia magnética (RM) debiese restringirse a condiciones específicas, en especial para caracterizar lesiones que no son completamente evaluables por ultrasonido. La mayor utilidad de la TC está en el diagnóstico diferencial de las urgencias ginecológicas, en evaluar el compromiso extra pelviano de neoplasias anexiales y en el estudio preoperatorio de anomalías de la vía urinaria. Respecto de la RM, su mayor utilidad está en el estudio de lesiones anexiales complejas a la ultrasonografía, endometriosis pélvica profunda y extra pelviana, adenomiosis, malformaciones uterinas, etapificación local de neoplasias endometriales, cervicales y vaginales, y en la evaluación de miomas múltiples o extra pelvianos.
Introduction: Given the scenario of obstetric patients diagnosed with the new coronavirus disease , the need for proper follow-up both obstetric and of the infection, during the period of home isolation, is essential. A remote monitoring program was developed by the Maternal Fetal Medicine Unit (MFM) of our center from the diagnosis of the infection until medical discharge according to the current criteria of the Ministry of Health (MINSAL). Objective: To assess patient satisfaction of remote monitoring of pregnant and postpartum patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: This is a descriptive-survey research. We performed a patient satisfaction survey through an online platform to pregnant and postpartum patients with remote monitoring for SARS-CoV-2 infection in our center. The survey was anonymous and voluntary. The instrument for this purpose was the Spanish adapted version of "Telehealth Usability Questionnaire" (TUQ) that has been previously validated. Results: The survey was answered by 94,5% of the patients. The results show that 86% of the patients rated the virtual control as "Very Good" or "Good"; 91% did not experienced technical problems. 14% of the patients prefer virtual control, 26% prefer face-to-face control and 60% both virtual and face-to-face control. 80% fulfilled all their needs with virtual control. Conclusions: In the context of pandemic and SARS-CoV-2 infection, remote monitoring has been positively evaluated with acceptable levels of patient's satisfaction.
