Abstract

Background: Unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) have had a rapid escalation in manageability and affordability, which can be exploited in healthcare. We conducted a systematic review examining the use of drones for health-related purposes.

Methods: A search was conducted in Medline, Embase, Global Health, Scopus, CINAHL and SciELO. Experimental studies were selected if the population included human subjects, the intervention was the use of UAVs and there was a health-related outcome.

Results: Of 500 results, five met inclusion criteria during an initial search. An updated search yielded four additional studies. Nine studies, all in high-income countries, were included for systematic syntheses: four studies addressed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest emergencies, three assessed drones for identification of people after accidents, one used drones to transport blood samples and one used drones to improve surgical procedures in war zones.

Conclusions: Research on the use of drones in healthcare is limited to simulation scenarios, and this review did not retrieve any studies from low- and middle-income countries.

为卫生目的使用无人驾驶飞行器:对实验研究的系统审查。

背景:无人驾驶飞行器(uav)在可管理性和可负担性方面迅速升级，可用于医疗保健。我们对无人机用于健康相关目的的使用进行了系统回顾。方法:在Medline、Embase、Global Health、Scopus、CINAHL和SciELO中进行检索。如果人群包括人类受试者，干预措施是使用无人机，并且存在与健康相关的结果，则选择实验研究。结果:在500个结果中，有5个在最初的搜索中符合纳入标准。一项最新的研究发现了另外四项研究。九项研究均在高收入国家进行，被纳入系统综合:四项研究涉及院外心脏骤停紧急情况，三项研究评估了事故后识别人员的无人机，一项使用无人机运输血液样本，一项使用无人机改进战区的外科手术程序。结论:在医疗保健中使用无人机的研究仅限于模拟场景，并且本综述没有检索来自低收入和中等收入国家的任何研究。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
