Background: Telerehabilitation is an approach that uses information and telecommunications technology to provide remote rehabilitation services through exercise supervision, patient education, parameter monitoring, and psychosocial support. With the advent of technology, it is increasingly being used in health care settings. Objectives: The aim of this study is to verify, through analysis of the literature, the effectiveness of telerehabilitation treatment in the second phase of cardiac rehabilitation, in patients who have undergone both invasive and non-invasive cardiac surgery, attempting to analyze the main components, exercise capacity, limitations and strengths of telerehabilitation, thought to be a possible tool to support traditional cardiac rehabilitation. Methods: The search was conducted in two different databases, Pubmed and Scopus, during the period from January 2023 to June 2023. The included articles were about telerehabilitation in patients post cardiac surgery. English and Italian language articles were considered, excluding articles that only discussed cardiac surgery or cardiac rehabilitation. Results: Twelve studies were considered eligible for this literature review, six of which involved telerehabilitation in patients undergoing invasive cardiac surgery and the other six patients undergoing noninvasive cardiac surgery. Analysis of these studies showed that cardiac telerehabilitation is as effective as conventional cardiac rehabilitation in terms of physical capacity, peak oxygen consumption and maximal expiratory volume, and quality of life. Conclusion: Most studies indicate that telerehabilitation is a viable and effective alternative to traditional cardiac rehabilitation for low- to moderate-risk patients, especially in the second phase of cardiac rehabilitation. This approach was found to be feasible, safe, and comparable to traditional inpatient rehabilitation, with better patient adherence due to the greater flexibility and convenience offered by telerehabilitation.
Background: La teleriabilitazione è un approccio che utilizza la tecnologia delle informazioni e delle telecomunicazioni per fornire servizi di riabilitazione a distanza, tramite la supervisione dell’esercizio fisico, l’educazione del paziente, il monitoraggio dei parametri e il supporto psicosociale. Con l’avvento della tecnologia è sempre più utilizzata in ambito sanitario. Obiettivi: Lo scopo di questo studio è quello di verificare, tramite l’analisi della letteratura, l’efficacia del trattamento di teleriabilitazione nella seconda fase della riabilitazione cardiaca, nei pazienti che sono stati sottoposti ad intervento cardiochirurgico sia invasivo che non, cercando di analizzare i componenti principali, la capacità di esercizio, i limiti e punti di forza della teleriabilitazione, pensata come possibile strumento a supporto della riabilitazione cardiaca tradizionale. Metodi: La ricerca è stata effettuata in due diverse banche dati, Pubmed e Scopus, nel periodo compreso tra gennaio 2023 e giugno 2023. Gli articoli inclusi riguardavano la teleriabilitazione nei pazienti post intervento cardiochirurgico. Sono stati considerati articoli in lingua inglese e italiana, escludendo articoli che parlavano solamente di intervento cardiochirurgico o riabilitazione cardiaca. Risultati: Dodici studi sono stati considerati eleggibili per questa revisione della letteratura, 6 di questi riguardavano la teleriabilitazione in pazienti sottoposti ad intervento cardiochirurgico invasivo, mentre, gli altri 6, pazienti sottoposti ad intervento cardiochirurgico non invasivo. Dall’analisi di tali studi è emerso che la teleriabilitazione cardiaca è efficace quanto la riabilitazione cardiaca tradizionale per quanto concerne la capacità fisica, il picco di consumo di ossigeno e volume espiratorio massimo e qualità di vita. Conclusione: La maggior parte degli studi indica che la teleriabilitazione rappresenta un'alternativa valida ed efficace alla riabilitazione cardiaca tradizionale per pazienti a rischio basso o moderato, specialmente nella fase seconda fase di riabilitazione cardiaca. Questo approccio è risultato fattibile, sicuro e comparabile alla riabilitazione ospedaliera tradizionale, con una migliore aderenza da parte dei pazienti grazie alla maggiore flessibilità e comodità offerte dalla teleriabilitazione.
