Telemedizinische Methoden in der Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

Telemedizin ist ein Oberbegriff, der alle kommunikationstechnologisch unterstützte Verfahren zusammenfasst, die medizinische Leistungen über räumliche Entfernungen erbringen. Dieser rasch sich entwickelnde Bereich der Medizin besitzt gerade für das stark endoskopisch/mikroskopisch ausgerichtete Fach der Hals-Nasen-Ohrenheilkunde interessante Optionen. Für die klinische Untersuchung von Ohr, Nase, Rachen und Larynx, aber auch für die postoperative Nachsorge und die Betreuung nach Kopf-Hals-Tumor-Erkrankungen liegen Daten zum telemedizinischen Vorgehen vor, ebenso für die audiologischen Messungen nach Cochlea-Implantation. Diese Daten bieten z. T. ein interessantes Potential, z. T. weisen sie aber gerade auch auf Probleme bei unkritischer Anwendung der Telemedizin hin, deren Erfolg entscheidend von der Ausbildung des Untersuchers vor Ort abhängt. Der vorgestellte Artikel fasst die wesentlichen Erkenntnisse dieses sich sehr rasch entwickelnden Forschungsgebietes überblickartig zusammen.
