dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND Synchronous video teleconsulta?ons are being increasingly used in various fi elds of medical care. Its feasibility, safety and advantages have been demonstrated in neonatal office prac?ce in our unit. METHODS This prospec?ve study was conducted to measure propor?on of parents of low-risk neonates who u?lized teleconsulta?ons for postnatal follow-up. RESULTS Of 844 eligible families, 22.3% used the service. Lacta?on queries (57.1%) about feeding schedules and perceived less milk related excess cry predominated. Enquiries related to skincare (36.5%) and sleep-wake cycle (30.1%) were common. Only 3.8% were advised to report to the hospital for physical assessment. CONCLUSIONS The number of families who engaged in the teleconsulta?ons with the neonatologist were less than an?cipated. However among those who did, majority of the concerns could be resolved without the need for physical hospital visits.en_US
