  • 摘要: 自新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情暴发以来,湖北省尤其是武汉地区病例暴增,医疗资源严重不足,全国各地几万名医务人员从2020年1月底开始分期分批支援湖北各地。在这次疫情中,我院充分发自身的医疗优势和远程医学快捷、无地域限制的特点,通过远程医学服务平台为疫区提供远程医疗服务。截至2月20日,共计为29家站点医院91名新冠病毒肺炎患者提供了114次远程会诊,其中随访的84名急重症患者中,52.38%已经痊愈,33.33%有明显好转;为全军100余家单位提供疫情防控技术相关培训9次,培训军队医护人员2万余名。远程医学技术可摆脱地域限制,快速为疫区和边远地区提供优质医疗服务,有效降低医护人员的感染风险,在新冠病毒肺炎疫情防控和救治中起到了积极的作用。随着5G和人工智能技术的推广应用,远程医学将有更广阔的应用前景。

     

    Abstract: Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a serious shortage of medical resources in Hubei province, especially in Wuhan and other hard-hit areas. As a rush of doctors and nurses arrived in Hubei, the Telemedicine Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital has also provided timely telemedical services to help the doctors and nurses in epidemic area diagnose and treat the COVID-19 patients appropriately. As of Feb 20th, a total of 114 remote consultations have been performed to 91 COVID-19 patients from 29 hospitals. Among the 84 critically ill patients followed up, 52.38% have been recovered and 33.33% have been improved significantly. Meanwhile, 9 remote training courses focusing on COVID-19 prevention and control techniques are launched to more than 100 military hospitals, and more than 20, 000 military medical staffs are involved. Telemedicine plays a positive and important role in the prevention, control and treatment of the COVID-19. By which, the highly qualified medical services can be provided quickly to the remote areas regardless of geographical restrictions. It reduces the risk of infection of virus in medical staffs effectively. With the popularization and application of 5G and AI technology, telemedicine will have a broader application prospect.
