Abstract
Interest in the use of telehealth in intensive care has been growing steadily as one way to respond to the rising global demand for critical care expertise (Xyrichis et al. 2021, Weiss et al. 2021). The outbreak of COVID-19 catapulted telehealth to the forefront of care delivery as a way to keep both providers and patients safe, while potentially relieving the strain on healthcare systems (Institute for Healthcare Improvement, 2023). Despite expectations, telehealth in the intensive care unit (ICU) has not yet realised its full potential. In this paper, we critically examine current insights concerning the evidence, opportunities, and challenges of telehealth in the ICU.
