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.
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.
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.
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.
无人驾驶飞行器（UAVs）在可操控性和可承受性方面迅速提升，这使其在医疗保健领域具有应用潜力。我们进行了一项系统综述，以研究无人机在健康相关用途方面的应用情况。
在Medline、Embase、Global Health、Scopus、CINAHL和SciELO数据库中进行检索。如果研究人群包括人类受试者，干预措施是使用无人机，且有与健康相关的结果，则选择实验性研究。
在初步检索的500条结果中，有5条符合纳入标准。更新检索又获得了4项研究。纳入系统综述的9项研究均来自高收入国家：4项研究涉及院外心脏骤停紧急情况，3项评估了无人机在事故后寻人方面的应用，1项使用无人机运输血样，1项使用无人机改善战区的外科手术。
无人机在医疗保健领域的应用研究仅限于模拟场景，且本综述未检索到来自低收入和中等收入国家的任何研究。
