Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the application effect of telemedicine robot on the postoperative follow-up of liver transplantation recipients from donation after cardiac death (DCD). Methods A total of 100 recipients undergoing liver transplantation from DCD in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi 'an Jiaotong University from January 2014 to December 2017 were recruited in this investigation. According to differnt follow-up patterns, all recipients were divided into the research group (n=50, follow-up by telemedicine robot) and control group (n=50, follow-up by traditional telephone). The compliance (medication compliance, self-monitoring, life compliance and follow-up compliance), follow-up time and follow-up satisfaction at postoperative 3 months of all DCD liver transplantation recipients were analyzed and statistically compared between research group and control group. Results The scores of medication compliance, self-monitoring, life compliance, follow-up compliance and the total score of compliance in the research group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The each follow-up time of liver transplantation recipients in the research group was (9±4) min, significantly shorter than (13±4) min in the control group (t=-4.452, P < 0.001). The score of satisfaction during postoperative follow-up in the research group was 19.8±2.6, significantly higher than 16.2±3.1 in the control group (t=6.234, P < 0.001). Conclusions The application effect of telemedicine robot on the postoperative follow-up of liver transplantation recipients from DCD is satisfactory, deserves widespread application in clinical practice. It is expected to become an indispensable part of the postoperative follow-up of liver transplantation recipients from DCD.
