Abstract
Tele-critical care (TCC) is a health care delivery model that connects medical information, interprofessional teams, patients, and families through advanced pathways, such as audio-video interfaces, machine learning, risk prediction algorithms, smart alarms, artificial intelligence, and physiologic sensing devices. TCC expands critical care services and expertise beyond the walls of the intensive care unit to logistic centers, emergency departments, general wards, war zones, disaster settings, and pandemics. This article describes the broad use of TCC for rescue and resuscitation and provides case presentations.
