Abstract

Intensive care treatment needs and costs are expected to increase with the ageing population in our country and the world. Tele-intensive care unit (Tele-ICU) applications can provide an alternative solution to treat and follow up critical patients remotely. It can help use existing resources efficiently. With the Tele-ICU program, intensive care specialists will reach all intensive care beds in the country without restrictions. They will evaluate the patients’ situations with all data from electronic recording systems. However, problems with some legal regulations or terms of job descriptions, deterioration of patient-doctor, doctor-patient’s relative relationships, or some infrastructure deficiencies when using the Tele-ICU system could override the potential benefit of the new solution strategy. This review was written to inform about Tele-ICU, draw attention to opportunities, shortcomings, and limitations if Tele-ICU is applied in our country, and ensure that the necessary steps are taken to resolve these deficiencies.

Özet

Ülkemizde ve dünyada yaşlanan nüfus ile birlikte yoğun bakım tedavi gereksinimlerinin ve yoğun bakım maliyetlerinin artması beklenmektedir. Tele-yoğun bakım ünitesi (Tele-YBÜ) uygulamaları kritik hastaların takip ve tedavilerinin uzaktan düzenlenmesine, mevcut kaynakların verimli kullanımına imkan sağlayarak yeni bir çözüm aracı olabilir. Tele-YBÜ programları sayesinde yoğun bakım uzmanlarının yer ve zaman sınırlaması olmadan ülkedeki tüm yoğun bakım yataklarına ulaşabileceği, hastalardan gelen tüm verileri elektronik kayıt sistemleri ile değerlendirebileceği ve bu veriler ışığında hastalara kanıta dayalı en iyi tedavi önerilerini sunabilecekleri öngörülmektedir. Ancak Tele-YBÜ’nün kullanılması sırasında karşılaşabilecek altyapı yetersizlikleri, hasta-hekim, hekim-hasta yakını ilişkisinin bozulmasının yaratabileceği problemler, hasta verilerinin korunması, depolanması ile ilgili güçlükler, yasal mevzuat ve görev tanımlarının eksikliği gibi problemler bu yeni çözüm stratejisinin potansiyel yararının önüne geçebilir. Bu derleme, Tele-YBÜ konusunda bilgilendirme, ülkemizde Tele-YBÜ uygulanırsa bu konudaki fırsatlarımıza, eksikliklerimize ve kısıtlamalarımıza dikkat çekmek ve bu eksikliklerin tamamlanması için gerekli adımların atılmasını sağlamak amacıyla yazılmıştır
