About this book

This text provides a concise, yet comprehensive overview of telemedicine in the ICU. The first part of the book reviews common issues faced by practitioners and hospital administrators in implementing and managing tele-ICU programs, including the merits of different staffing models, the challenges of building homegrown programs versus contracting for services, and the impact of state laws and payer policies on reimbursement for tele-ICU services. The second part of the book presents the current state of evidence for and against ICU telemedicine, based on clinical trials, before-and-after implementation studies, and observational data. The third part dives deeper into specific use cases for telemedicine in the ICU, including telestroke, pediatric and cardiac intensive care, and early treatment of declining patients with sepsis. 

Written by experts in the field, Telemedicine in the ICU is a practical guide for intensive care physicians and hospital administrators that provides all the information necessary in building and maintaining a successful tele-ICU program.

Reviews

“The book can serve as a tool for assessing one’s existing program and looking for new areas of expansion or improvements. … With its balanced, comprehensive, and practical presentation of the topic, it is easy to recommend this book to readers who are looking for an introductory tome on tele-ICU or for veterans who are looking to enhance their knowledge and expand their practice.” (Jean Gabriel Charchaflieh, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 132 (2), February, 2021)
