Benefits of Expert Online Consultations for the Detection of Pulmonary Embolism and Timely Treatment: Enhancing Telemedicine Technology–A Case Report
Telemedicine can facilitate communication and patient care between clinicians and patients in remote locations. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated the development of no-contact, remote healthcare solutions, and this innovation has facilitated early diagnosis and treatment in medical care. Herein, we present a case of dyspnea that was successfully detected as a pulmonary embolism using an innovative approach through expert online consultations. By leveraging advancements in telemedicine, we could detect possible urgent signs of acute pulmonary embolism, and timely treatments could lead to improved patient symptoms and outcomes.
