Abstract

Introduction

The biggest concerns in the current pandemic are enormous workload pressure, psychological distress, caregiver burnout, and, even worse, transmission of the virus among healthcare workers. One of the potentially beneficial tools in reducing the above-mentioned risks for overwhelming the healthcare system is telemedicine. Although the role of telemedicine and related interventions as a crisis management tool has increased, the current state of the implementation of telemedicine in surgery and surgical subspecialties has not been adequately evaluated.

Objective and significance

The objective of this review is to screen the literature, extract expert opinions, qualitative, and quantitative data on the current use and future directions in the implementation of telemedicine in surgery and surgical subspecialties during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings would potentially help in understanding the challenges and future directions of telemedicine use in surgery.

Methods and analysis

The databases to be searched include PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE (via Ovid). In addition, ClinicalTrials.gov and medRxiv.org will be searched for any ongoing and/or unpublished studies. The reference lists of articles included in the review will be screened to assess the sensitivity of the search. Literature search, quality assessment, followed by data extraction will be performed by two independent researchers. The findings of the data synthesis will be reported in diagrams, tables, and text. This review will consider reports that include expert opinions, qualitative and quantitative data on the implementation of telemedicine in surgery and surgical subspecialties (including patients with surgical disease of any age) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, future perspectives reported based either on the evidence provided by the data or on expert opinions will be considered.

Ethics and dissemination

This study does not require an institutional review board approval given its summary design nature. Findings of this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Systematic review registration number

PROSPERO does not currently accept registrations for scoping reviews, literature reviews or mapping reviews.

COVID-19大流行期间手术中远程医疗应用的现状和未来展望:范围审查方案
当前大流行中最大的担忧是巨大的工作量压力、心理困扰、护理人员的倦怠,更糟糕的是,病毒在卫生保健工作者之间的传播。远程医疗是减少上述医疗系统超载风险的潜在有益工具之一。尽管远程医疗和相关干预措施作为危机管理工具的作用有所增强,但目前在外科和外科专科实施远程医疗的状况尚未得到充分评估。目的与意义本综述的目的是筛选文献,提取专家意见,定性和定量数据,了解COVID-19大流行期间外科和外科亚专科实施远程医疗的现状和未来方向。这些发现可能有助于理解远程医疗在外科手术中的应用所面临的挑战和未来的发展方向。方法与分析检索数据库包括PubMed、EMBASE和MEDLINE(通过Ovid)。此外,ClinicalTrials.gov和medRxiv.org将被搜索任何正在进行和/或未发表的研究。将筛选纳入综述的参考文献列表,以评估检索的敏感性。文献检索、质量评估、数据提取将由两名独立研究者完成。数据综合的结果将以图表、表格和文本的形式报告。本次审查将审议报告,其中包括专家意见以及在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间外科和外科亚专科(包括任何年龄的外科疾病患者)实施远程医疗的定性和定量数据。此外,将考虑根据数据提供的证据或专家意见报告的未来观点。伦理和传播考虑到其概要设计的性质,本研究不需要机构审查委员会的批准。本系统综述的结果将发表在同行评议的期刊上。普洛斯佩罗目前不接受范围评价、文献评价或地图评价的注册。
