INTRODUCTION: Based on personal experience, this thesis explores the potential of eye-tracking technology for communication in mechanically ventilated patients. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to investigate the feasibility of using eye-tracking technology for communication in mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A literature review was conducted, consulting the PubMed, Cinahl, and Scopus databases. RESULTS: A total of 14 articles were selected: 3 systematic reviews, 1 concept analysis, 2 scoping reviews, 1 qualitative research study, 1 umbrella review, 1 qualitative phenomenological-hermeneutic study, 1 RCT, 2 pilot studies, 1 cohort study, and 1 prospective randomized crossover. DISCUSSION: The research explored the use of eye-tracking technology as a means of communication for patients in intensive care, particularly those who are intubated. Eye tracking has shown promise in improving the quality of life for these patients by giving them a voice. CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, eye-tracking technology represents a promising solution to improve communication in mechanically ventilated patients. However, further research is needed to define guidelines and overcome current limitations. The limitations of the research are represented by the time frame used (2014-2024) and the choice of articles only in Italian and English.
INTRODUZIONE: Partendo da un’esperienza personale, questa tesi esplora le potenzialità della tecnologia eye tracking per la comunicazione dei pazienti in ventilazione meccanica. OBIETTIVO: L'obiettivo è esplorare la fattibilità dell’utilizzo della tecnologia eye tracking per la comunicazione dei pazienti in ventilazione meccanica in terapia intensiva. MATERIALI E METODI: È stata condotta una revisione della letteratura, consultando i database PubMed, Cinahl e Scopus. RISULTATI : In totale sono stati selezionati 14 articoli: 3 revisioni sistematiche, 1 concept analysis, 2 scoping review, 1 studio di ricerca qualitativo, 1 umbrella review, 1 Studio fenomenologico-ermeneutico qualitativo, 1 RCT, 2 studi pilota, 1 studio di coorte, 1 Prospective randomized crossover. DISCUSSIONE: La ricerca ha esplorato l'utilizzo della tecnologia eye tracking come mezzo di comunicazione per pazienti in terapia intensiva, in particolare quelli intubati. L'eye tracking si è dimostrato promettente per migliorare la qualità di vita di questi pazienti, fornendo loro una voce. CONCLUSIONI: In conclusione, la tecnologia eye tracking rappresenta una promettente soluzione per migliorare la comunicazione nei pazienti in ventilazione meccanica. Tuttavia si ritengono necessarie ulteriori ricerche per definire linee guida e superare le attuali limitazioni. I limiti della ricerca vengono rappresentati dall’arco temporale utilizzato (2014-2024) e dalla scelta di articoli solo in lingua italiana ed inglese.
Vedere oltre le barriere: l'uso dell'eye tracking per superare le sfide comunicative nei pazienti in ventilazione meccanica in terapia intensiva.
