Resumo

Introdução: A teleneurologia, que envolve o uso de tecnologias de telecomunicação para fornecer assistência médica remota em neurologia, está se tornando cada vez mais relevante no tratamento do AVC devido à sua capacidade de conectar pacientes em áreas remotas a especialistas em AVC em tempo real.


Objetivo: Investigar se a teleneurologia oferece benefícios suficientes para justificar sua regulamentação e implementação nos serviços de tratamento de AVC.


Método: A revisão sistemática foi conduzida seguindo uma série de etapas metodológicas. Primeiro, foi estabelecido o tema “Teleneurologia e seu papel na terapia de AVCs” e formulada a questão norteadora “A teleneurologia tem benefício suficiente para ser regulamentada e utilizada em serviços de tratamento de AVCs?”. Em seguida, foram definidos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão dos artigos, bem como as informações a serem extraídas dos estudos selecionados. Ampla pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados acadêmicas usando combinação de descritores relacionados à telemedicina e ao AVC.


Resultado: A revisão identificou 782 artigos relevantes, dos quais 35 foram selecionados para análise. Os resultados destacam a importância da telemedicina no tratamento do AVC, especialmente na trombólise precoce e na monitorização pós-tratamento. Além disso, foram discutidas as implicações éticas da telemedicina, os avanços tecnológicos, incluindo o uso de inteligência artificial e telemetria, e os modelos de cuidados baseados em telemedicina, como unidades móveis de AVC e redes de telestroke.


Conclusão: Resultados sugerem que a teleneurologia oferece benefícios significativos no tratamento do AVC, incluindo a redução do tempo até o início do tratamento e a melhoria dos resultados clínicos.
