Telemedicine lends itself to several obstetric applications and is of growing interest in developed and developing nations worldwide. In this article we review current trends and applications within obstetrics practice. We searched electronic databases, March 2010 to September 2012, for telemedicine use studies related to obstetrics. Thirty-four of 101 identified studies are the main focus of review. Other relevant studies published before March 2010 are included. Telemedicine plays an important role as an adjunct to delivery of health care to remote patients with inadequate medical access in this era of limited resources and emphasis on efficient use of those available resources.
远程医疗适用于多种产科应用，在全球发达国家和发展中国家越来越受到关注。在本文中，我们回顾了产科实践中的当前趋势和应用。我们在2010年3月至2012年9月期间搜索了电子数据库，以查找与产科相关的远程医疗使用研究。101项已识别研究中的34项是综述的主要重点。还纳入了2010年3月之前发表的其他相关研究。在这个资源有限且强调有效利用现有资源的时代，远程医疗作为向医疗服务不足的偏远患者提供医疗保健的辅助手段发挥着重要作用。
