A video-otoscope was used with standard videoconference equipment, and realtime images were transmitted at a bandwidth of 384 kbit\/s. In all, 1 3 telepaediatric ENT clinics were conducted between November 2003 and April 2005, and 98 consultations were facilitated for 64 patients. The main reasons for referral were recurrent tonsillitis (25%) and obstructive sleep apnoea (23%). Of the 64 patients examined by telemedicine, 42 (66%) were recommended for surgery and placed on the surgical waiting list. About 12 patients (19%) required travel to the tertiary centre for further investigations and tests not available locally, while four patients (6%) were reviewed via videoconference during a scheduled clinic. Six patients (9%) required no further follow-up after their initial telepaediatric consultation. Videoconferencing is an effective method of assessing ENT conditions of paediatric patients and for pre-screening potential surgical admissions to a tertiary hospital. Careful consideration of a number of economic and logistical factors needs to be made before large investments are made to expand the service. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1258\/135763305775124821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,14]],"date-time":"2005-12-14T22:13:10Z","timestamp":1134598390000},"page":"86-89","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Realtime telemedicine for paediatric otolaryngology pre-admission screening"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Anthony C","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Online Health, University of Queensland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Judy","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundaberg Base Hospital, Queensland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Agnew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Children's Hospital, Queensland, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Sinclair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundaberg Base Hospital, Queensland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Youngberry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Online Health, University of Queensland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Wootton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Online Health, University of Queensland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005537-199909000-00014"},{"key":"bibr2-135763305775124821","first-page":"163","volume-title":"Telepediatrics: Telemedicine and Child Health.","author":"Eikelboom RH","year":"2005"},{"key":"bibr3-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ajot.2002.28770"},{"key":"bibr4-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1994.01880260005002"},{"key":"bibr5-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.1.1995.1.47"},{"key":"bibr6-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/15305620260353199"},{"key":"bibr7-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/milmed\/167.6.510"},{"key":"bibr8-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/13576330260440718"},{"key":"bibr9-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/135763303322596156"},{"key":"bibr10-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/153056203772744644"},{"key":"bibr11-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/153056203772744653"},{"key":"bibr12-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/1357633971931156"},{"key":"bibr13-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/1357633011937227"},{"key":"bibr14-135763305775124821","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/135763303322596282"}],"container-title":["Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/135763305775124821","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1258\/135763305775124821","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]],"date-time":"2025-03-02T20:21:46Z","timestamp":1740946906000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1258\/135763305775124821"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005,12]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2_suppl","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2005,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1258\/135763305775124821"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1258\/135763305775124821","relation":{},"ISSN":["1357-633X","1758-1109"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1357-633X","type":"print"},{"value":"1758-1109","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005,12]]}}}
