Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Therapeutic Communication

Therapeutic Communication

Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Telemedicine
Public Health

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated rapid adoption of video consultations by healthcare providers.
Patients report high satisfaction and desire continued access to physicians via video consultation due to convenience.
Physician adoption is hindered by discomfort with new technologies and lack of traditional physical examination capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the adoption of video consultations.
To identify barriers and facilitators for the sustainable integration of telemedicine into daily medical practice.
To determine the necessity of specific training for effective and high-quality virtual patient care.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of healthcare provider experiences during the pandemic.
Patient surveys on satisfaction and preferences for video consultation.
Review of existing telemedicine training programs and their effectiveness.

Main Results:

Video consultation adoption surged due to the pandemic, with sustained patient interest.
Physician apprehension regarding technology and virtual physical examination emerged as a key challenge.
The need for specialized training in telemedicine communication and virtual examination techniques was highlighted.

Conclusions:

Video consultations offer benefits for patient access and convenience, particularly post-pandemic.
Addressing physician technology discomfort and enhancing virtual examination skills are essential for widespread telemedicine adoption.
Implementing targeted training programs can ensure the sustainability and quality of care in telemedicine.
