Abstract

Background: The tele-ICU has an off-site command center in which a critical care team (intensivists and critical care nurses) is connected with patients in distance intensive care units (ICUs) through a real-time audio, visual and electronic means and health information is exchanged. Care provided in intensive care units (ICUs) is notable for its high cost and high rates of morbidity and mortality.

Methods: The study is an observational retrospective study conducted in the Department of Plastic Surgery, Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research (JIPMER), Pondicherry from March 2015 to April 2016. The tele-ICU system consisted of an audiovisual monitoring aid comprising IP camera. At the end of the study period, the feedback was obtained from consultants, residents and analysed.

Results: The consultants and residents found the tele-monitoring system to be userfriendly, good quality, economical and frequent interaction and advice from consultants and experts possible.

Conclusion: Tele-monitoring of ICU patients is found to be a promising path, especially where there are a limited number of consultants. It is Userfriendly, good quality, economical and frequent interaction possible between consultant and resident.
