abstract: Intensive care unit (ICU) telemedicine is one option to improve clinical relevant outcomes in terms of mortality, length of stay and morbidity. Telemedicine combines the advantage of locally available intensive medical care with the shared expertise of specialized centers by data and information exchange. The article describes the organizational and technical feasibility of different options, as well as the effects and limitations of ICU telemedicine.
