“…4-dimensional, through a cineloop sequence that simulates an entire cardiac cycle [3,4,5]. The advantages of STIC for fetal heart evaluation are the following: lower dependency on the operator's experience when obtaining diagnostic planes, a shorter time taken to perform the examination (without the patient's presence during the volume analysis), the possibility of evaluating structures through the rendering mode with assessment of their morphology and function [3,4,5] and the capacity to send volumes for analysis at other fetal cardiology reference centers via an Internet link [6]. Yagel et al [7] suggested that the rendering mode enables better evaluation of interventricular septum malformations, of the foramen ovale in the interatrial septum and of the alignment of major blood vessels in relation to the atrioventricular valve angle [7].…”

Objective: To determine reference range for fetal interventricular septum area by means of 3-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) using the spatiotemporal image correlation (STIC) method. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted on 328 normal pregnant women between the 18th and 33rd gestational weeks. To obtain the interventricular septum area, a virtual plane was used, with the green line (region of interest) adjacent to the external margin of the septum, which was manually delimited. To evaluate the correlation of the septum area with the gestational age, different regression modes were evaluated. The intraclass correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the interobserver reproducibility. Results: The interventricular septum area showed correlation with the gestational age (r = 0.81). The mean increased from 0.47 ± 0.10 cm² in the 18th week to 2.42 ± 1.13 cm² in the 33rd week of gestation. The mathematical equation that best represented this correlation was provided by linear regression: interventricular septum area = 0.0511 × gestational age (R² = 0.095). The interobserver reproducibility was good, with bias of 0.01 cm², precision of 0.07 cm² and absolute limits of agreement of -0.14 and +0.15 cm². Conclusions: Reference range for fetal interventricular septum area were determined by means of 3DUS using STIC in the rendering mode and were shown to be reproducible.

“…On average complete fetal echocardiograms could be interpreted in 92%. (Vinals et al, 2005) However, these isolated studies have not been followed up in the literature. In a study conducted in our own department we evaluated fetal echocardiography, performed by sonographers with little training in fetal cardiology, but guided by a fetal www.intechopen.com cardiologist and transmitted in real-time across ISDN 6 (Figure 3).…”

“…With a great applicability in teaching, research and care, videoconferencing has successfully enabled different ways to transfer, obtain and discuss scientific information using an expressive collection of medias as well as the exchange of experiences of users (1)(2)(3) . Videoconferencing is defined as sending and receiving quality audio and video transmissions among one or more points of connection in real time, with simultaneous integration to communicate.…”

This study reports the experience of creating a project based on videoconferencing technology to discuss topics related to nursing management in university hospitals in the country. The study describes the Telemedicine University Network of the Science and Technology Ministry in partnership with the Ministry of Education, authors of projects that subsidize the infrastructure for videoconferencing, aiming at offering relevant experiences among teaching hospitals. The nursing professionals in the Sao Paulo Hospital have used the telemedicine resources in the last 2 years, to discuss administrative issues and human and technical aspects of nursing in the hospital. This initiative has been showing good results regarding the regular involvement and assiduity of nurses and users. Keywords: Health management; Hospitals, university; Telemedicine; Videoconferencing RESUMOO presente estudo relata a experiência da criação de um projeto baseado em tecnologia de videoconferência para discussão de temas relacionados à gestão de enfermagem em hospitais universitários do País. Descreve a Rede Universitária de Telemedicina do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia em parceria com o Ministério da Educação, como autores de projetos que subsidiam infraestrutura para a realização de videoconferências, com vistas a oferecer intercâmbio de experiências relevantes entre os hospitais de ensino. Profissionais da Diretoria de Enfermagem do Hospital São Paulo vêm utilizando recursos de telemedicina a cerca de 2 anos, a fim de discutir aspectos administrativos, humanos e técnicos da enfermagem hospitalar. Esta iniciativa vem apresentando bons resultados em relação à participação e assiduidade dos enfermeiros usuários.
