Abstract

Purpose: To determine if current telemedicine technology can support real-time telementoring to teach ophthalmologic surgical procedures in remote areas.

Method: Using an integrated systems digital network (ISDN) line conveying information at a rate of 128 kbps, an endoscopic laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (ELA-DCR) procedure was transmitted in real time from the Saint Francis Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, to ophthalmologists at the Makati Medical Center in Manila, Philippines, more than 5000 miles away. Live surgical and endoscopic images were sent real time with explanations by the surgeon and with interactive questions and answers during and after the procedure.

Results: The ELA-DCR procedure was transmitted in real time from Honolulu to more than 100 ophthalmologists at the Makati Medical Center in the Philippines.

Conclusion: Current technology in telemedicine can support the use of real-time surgical telementoring to teach complex ophthalmologic procedures.

眼科学中的实时远程监控。

目的:了解当前的远程医疗技术是否能够支持偏远地区眼科外科手术的实时远程教学。方法:利用集成系统数字网络(ISDN)线路以128 kbps的速率传输信息，将夏威夷檀香山圣弗朗西斯医疗中心的内窥镜激光辅助泪囊鼻腔造口术(la - dcr)过程实时传输给5000多英里外菲律宾马尼拉马卡蒂医疗中心的眼科医生。现场手术和内窥镜图像实时发送，并附有外科医生的解释，以及手术期间和手术后的交互式问题和答案。结果:ELA-DCR手术从檀香山实时传递给菲律宾马卡蒂医疗中心的100多名眼科医生。结论:目前的远程医疗技术可以支持使用实时外科远程监护来教授复杂的眼科手术。
