“…Two reviewers (MH, RB) independently evaluated the study quality, and discrepancies were discussed until consensus was reached. The thresholds used to classify study quality were good (9-16), moderate (17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23), and poor (below 14) [6].…”

“…From these, 854 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria, mainly because other patient populations were described (mostly carotid or cerebral artery diseases) or a telemonitoring intervention was absent. Full-text assessment of the remaining 18 articles resulted in six articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria of this review [17,[24][25][26][27][28]. The characteristics of the included studies are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…The ages of these patients ranged from 62.5 to 70.2 years. Five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included [17,24,25,27,28] and one prospective cohort study [26]. Two studies were focused on telemonitoring tools to monitor surgical site infections (SSIs) [17,26] and post-discharge complications [17] after vascular surgery.…”

Two studies were focused on telemonitoring tools to monitor surgical site infections (SSIs) [17,26] and post-discharge complications [17] after vascular surgery.

Introduction: For patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), the various components of telemedicine, such as telemonitoring, telecoaching, and teleconsultation, could be valuable in daily management. The objective of this review was to give an overview of the current use of telemedicine interventions in PAD. Areas covered: A literature search was performed for studies that evaluated patients with PAD of the aorto-pedal trajectory, who were monitored by telemedicine and acted upon accordingly. The primary outcome was health-related outcomes. The studies that were found focused mainly on wearable activity monitoring and telecoaching in PAD (n = 4) or wound monitoring after vascular surgery (n = 2). Main results indicate that telemedicine interventions are able to detect (post-operative) complications early, improve functional capacity and claudication onset time, and improve PAD patients' quality of life. Expert opinion: The use of telemedicine in PAD patients is still an under-explored area. Studies investigating the use of telemedicine in PAD are very limited and show varying results. Owing to its high potential in improving physical ability, lifestyle coaching, and timely detection of deterioration, future research should focus on proper implementation of telemedicine in PAD patients, including clinical and feasibility outcomes, effect on workload of nurses, and cost-efficiency.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a considerable cause of patient morbidity and mortality and are associated with increased hospital lengths of stay as well as increased health care costs to both patients and health care facilities. Substantial advances have been made in infection control practices throughout the perioperative setting to prevent SSIs and improve patient quality of care. Preventing and reducing SSIs requires a multifaceted approach encompassing the continuum of medical and surgical care. This article reviews four major infection prevention guidelines and provides an updated summary of effective strategies that perioperative team members can implement for the prevention of SSIs preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively.
