Posicionamiento de la Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica en el uso de la telemedicina en los trastornos respiratorios del sueño y ventilación mecánica

Abstract

Elsevier has created a COVID-19 resource centre with free information in English and Mandarin on the novel coronavirus COVID-19. The COVID-19 resource centre is hosted on Elsevier Connect, the company's public news and information website. Elsevier hereby grants permission to make all its COVID-19-related research that is available on the COVID-19 resource centre-including this research content-immediately available in PubMed Central and other publicly funded repositories, such as the WHO COVID database with rights for unrestricted research re-use and analyses in any form or by any means with acknowledgement of the original source. These permissions are granted for free by Elsevier for as long as the COVID-19 resource centre remains active.

Home Mechanical Ventilation Practices in Spain and Portugal

“…In this document, for example, the use of telemedicine is recommended in all patient with HMV particularly in the beginning of treatment or according to medical criteria, surely, still outside the reality of care. 16 …”

Telemonitoring for Home-assisted Ventilation: A Narrative Review

“…Data generated by remotely functioning electronic devices can be accessed synchronously (continuously as data is generated); or asynchronously, which involves deferred data transfer. (5) The U.S. Federal Drug Administration supports only asynchronous data access. Data recordings occur anytime a patient uses the device, permitting monitoring of nocturnal, diurnal, or even 24-hour use.…”

“…Data generated by remotely functioning electronic devices can be accessed synchronously (continuously as data is generated) or asynchronously, which involves deferred data transfer ( 5 ). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration supports only asynchronous data access.…”

“…Ongoing clinical trials in France, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands aim to shed light on the benefits of home ventilator telemonitoring ( 4 , 5 ). Until more studies become available, recommendations favoring home ventilation telemonitoring rely on the plausible but unproven supposition that the benefits of longitudinal, quantitative assessment of device use and function exceed the risks and it is overall cost effective.…”

“…With acknowledgement that European respiratory societies and medical centers have pioneered standardizing home ventilator monitoring and management, (3)(4)(5) we offer a perspective on application of home ventilator telemonitoring in the United States. We focus on monitoring home ventilation for adults; however, the telemonitoring systems described here also have applicability to management of chronic ventilation for children and individuals living within long-term care facilities.…”
