cord-322394-b18fv3r3	Eichberg, Daniel G	Telemedicine in Neurosurgery: Lessons Learned from a Systematic Review of the Literature for the COVID-19 Era and Beyond	2020-07-20		.txt	text/plain	4476	220	41	Inclusion was limited to studies that specifically documented success of telemedicine visits for treatment of neurosurgical patients (including head and spine trauma, pediatric neurosurgery, stroke and vascular, brain tumors, hydrocephalus, spine surgery, and functional neurosurgery) in the prehospital, inpatient, outpatient, or hospital transfer triage settings. Telemedicine encounter success was defined by achievement of the patient management goal specified by the individual study, which included the ability to evaluate a patient for transfer to a hospital with neurosurgical capabilities, ability to remotely program a neuromodulation device, ability to successfully perform a postoperative clinic visit, guide the administration of thrombolytics for stroke patients in the prehospital or hospital stage, or manage inpatients in the neurointensive care unit. The results of our systematic review suggest that remote telemedicine treatment of neurosurgical patients is feasible in the prehospital, inpatient, outpatient, and transfer triage settings, at least in resource-scarce situations.	./cache/cord-322394-b18fv3r3.txt	./txt/cord-322394-b18fv3r3.txt
