  • Title: Tele-Critical Care Support Outside the Intensive Care Unit.
    Author: Siner JM.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 2024 Jul; 40(3):599-608. PubMed ID: 38796230.
    Abstract:
    Tele-intensive care unit (ICU), or Tele Critical Care (TCC), has been in active use for 25 years and has expanded beyond the original model to support critically ill patients beyond the confines of the ICU. Here, the author reviews the role of TCC in supporting rapid response events, critical care in emergency departments, and disaster and pandemic responses. The ability to rapidly expand critical care services has important capacity and care quality implications. Moreover, as TCC infrastructure becomes less expensive, the opportunities to leverage this care modality also have potentially important financial benefits.
