The objective of this review is to examine the impact of the ongoing Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the use of telehealth in Otolaryngology. The use of telemedicine rose dramatically during the pandemic to meet the need for continued patient care while allowing for physical separation of providers and patients. Telemedicine has been used to evaluate patients with a variety of pathologies including dysphonia, vertigo, and anosmia. Innovative use of at-home exams, such as video-otoscopy has aided providers in overcoming challenges associated with a highly specialized physical exam. The use of telemedicine in Otolaryngology will likely remain essential in the post-pandemic era and has promising results for improving clinical efficiency.
本综述的目的是研究当前2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行对耳鼻喉科远程医疗使用的影响。在大流行期间，远程医疗的使用急剧增加，以满足持续的患者护理需求，同时实现医护人员与患者的物理隔离。远程医疗已被用于评估患有各种病症的患者，包括声音障碍、眩晕和嗅觉丧失。家庭检查的创新应用，如视频耳镜检查，有助于医护人员克服与高度专业化体格检查相关的挑战。在大流行后的时代，耳鼻喉科远程医疗的使用可能仍将至关重要，并且在提高临床效率方面有可观的成果。
