Intensive Care Unit Telemedicine Care Models

Sean M Caples. Crit Care Clin. 2019 Jul.

Abstract

This review outlines various care models used in tele-intensive care unit (tele-ICU) programs. They may be differentiated by personnel and approach to care. Low-intensity models, such as nocturnal coverage, may be adequate for some ICU practices. Others might benefit from a high-intensity model, especially those practices that desire a proactive approach to care. Also discussed is the incorporation of the education of trainees into tele-ICU models.

Keywords: Care models; Intensive care; Tele-ICU; Telemedicine; e-ICU.
