Telemedicine Consultation To Assess Neonatal Encephalopathy In Rural Community Hospitals And Tertiary Care Centers, Rachel Coffey, Misty Melendi, Anya K. Cutler, Alexa K. Craig
Telemedicine Consultation To Assess Neonatal Encephalopathy In Rural Community Hospitals And Tertiary Care Centers, Rachel Coffey, Misty Melendi, Anya K. Cutler, Alexa K. Craig
Journal of Maine Medical Center
Introduction: Teleconsultation is used in tertiary care hospitals to evaluate neonatal encephalopathy. Neonates born in community hospitals, however, often experience delayed evaluation due to transport to the tertiary care center. We studied teleconsultations in community hospitals to decrease this disparity.
Methods: Prospective observational study in 9 community hospitals and 1 neonatal intensive care unit. Inclusion criteria: gestational age greater than or equal to 35 weeks and one of the following: umbilical cord pH less than or equal to 7.2, 5-minute Apgar less than 7, prolonged respiratory support, perinatal event, or abnormal neurological exam. We performed synchronized, unscheduled telemedicine consults with …

Infants with single ventricle require staged cardiac surgery, with stage I typically performed shortly after birth, stage II at 4 to 6 months of age, and stage III at 3 to 5 years of age. There is a high risk of interstage mortality and morbidity after infants are discharged from the hospital between stages I and II. Traditional home monitoring requires caregivers to record measurements of weight and oxygen saturation into a binder and requires families to assume a surveillance role. We have developed a tablet PC-based solution that provides secure and nearly instantaneous transfer of patient information to a …
