Using Monitoring Devices Systems to

Telemonitoring, the use of communication technology to
monitor patients’ clinical status, is gaining attention as a
strategy to improve the care of patients with chronic disease.
By allowing clinical data to be collected without the need for
face-to-face contact with patients, telemonitoring can make
care more accessible for patients and has the potential to
improve outcomes. The Institute of Medicine’s endorsement
of this approach is evident, as the first of its 10 rules for
redesigning the health care system outlined in the report,
“Crossing the Quality Chasm” (Committee on Quality of Health
Care in America. 2001) is “Patients should receive care
whenever they need it and in many forms, not just faceto-face visits.”
The rate of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
implantation has gone up as primary and secondary
prevention trials have relatively consistently shown
significant improvement in mortality and morbidity. Most
patients with ICDs are followed routinely at intervals ranging
from 3 to 6 months. Many patients require additional nonscheduled visits to investigate symptoms that may or may not
relate to their cardiac disease or device. Appropriate and
inappropriate therapies of implantable cardioverter
defibrillators have a major impact on morbidity and quality
of life in ICD recipients. Remote monitoring systems can
substitute for routine follow-up visits and/ or deliver
continuous diagnostic and device status information.
Remote monitoring of ICDs can decrease the need for
many patient visits and, thereby, probably reduce
expense.
Potential advantages of RM

Early detection of device technical troubles

Early detection and reaction to changes in patient clinical
status

Reduction of unnecessary out-patient visits

Optimization of health-care resource allocation
Success of telemedicine

The easy of use of the system by the patient and the
clinician

Their acceptance and satisfaction with the monitor and with
rewieving device data via the website

Cost effectiveness
Health-care resource utilization
A total of 167 in-hospital visits took place. Of note,
in an equivalent period, 200 in hospital visits would
be expected for a standard follow-up scheduling
Easy of use and patients’ acceptance
Patient satisfaction with the convenience
and reliability of the remote monitoring
system ranged from 93 to 97% in SF-36
surveys.

•During 240 days of follow-up, 19.5%, 15.9%, and
12.7% of days were lost as the result of death or
hospitalization for UC, NTS, and HTM,
respectively (no significant difference).
•The number of admissions and mortality were
similar among patients randomly assigned to NTS
or HTM, but the mean duration of admissions was
reduced by 6 days (95% confidence interval 1 to 11)

•Patients randomly assigned to receive UC had

Median Rate
Minimum Rate

Most specific measure of activity level

Should be significantly higher than minimum (up to 3-4
times that of resting) and vary day by day

Normal respiratory rate is approximately 30-50 breaths
per minute

Corresponds most closely to resting respiration rate

Normal median respiratory rate is approximately 14 - 18
breaths per minute

Most specific measure of respiratory distress

Minimum > / = 20 breaths per minute is indicator of
rapid, shallow breathing
