  1. THE ROLE OF TELE-ICU IN A PRE- AND POST COVID-19 WORLD

  2. Telemedicine in COVID-19 Pandemic • The COVID-19 pandemic spotlighted the use of telemedicine, notably in critical care, but the tele-intensive care unit (ICU) existed two decades beforehand.  • Dr. Kazianis acknowledged that the use of tele-ICU played a significant role during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the concept is by no means new.  • But unfortunately, in many parts of the country, especially in rural areas, there simply aren’t enough of us.

  3. Dr. Kazianis About Tele-critical Care • Dr. Kazianis defined tele-critical care as “an intervention to address gaps in clinical coverage, as well as a tool for the diffusion of evidence-based medicine, quality improvement, and standardization of care.” • The three domains through which this is done are: • (1) real-time monitoring and data collection, • (2) best practice adherence/protocol compliance, and • (3) bringing expert opinion and interventions in real time to the bedside when necessary. 

  4. Tele-ICU in COVID-19 • Data supports the use of tele-ICUs, associating them with reduced hospital mortality and length of stay, improved compliance with best practices, and fewer preventable complications. • The Yale-New Haven InSight Tele ICU, oversees 135 beds across the states in nine ICUs across six delivery networks. • From the start of the pandemic through September, this hospital system saw 3,736 COVID-19 discharges. • Looking ahead at tele-critical care in a post-COVID-19 world, it will focus more on the core competencies of the intensivist, specifically identification and management of ARDS, [ventilator] management, and ventilator liberation.
