Tele-intensive care unit (ICU) is a specialized type of telemedicine that adapts available technologies to the unique needs of critically ill patients. We published an editorial in 2020 describing our initial experiences of Tele-ICU application in Shandong Province. Here, we update our insights gained over the past 2 years, and we provide a systematic review of the literature to compare our perspectives with those from other institutions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We performed a systematic literature review of publications describing the use of telemedicine in an ICU setting during COVID-19. The PubMed database was searched for studies published after January 1, 2020, which offered detailed descriptions of tele-ICU usage. Extracted data included details regarding tele-ICU technologies, descriptions of the institution, usage cases, assessments of tele-ICU effectiveness, and site-reported opinions (e.g., advantages, disadvantages).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We screened 162 studies resulting from the PubMed literature search, along with one expert recommendation. Of the 112 full-text articles retrieved, 11 were selected for inclusion in this qualitative summary. All were retrospective descriptions of tele-ICU experiences at a single site. Some pairs of included articles reported results from the same institution, with seven unique sites being described. Three sites employed centralized models of tele-ICU, while four allowed staff to participate from distant locations. Five sites collected user-reported feedback regarding tele-ICU. While the advantages and disadvantages described rarely overlapped directly between sites, many reported positive opinions of tele-ICU use overall.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The potential applications of tele-ICU technologies vary widely, making them highly adaptable to the needs of individual institutions. Tele-ICU has proven invaluable to some hospitals during COVID-19 due to its effectiveness at aiding patient care while mitigating risk to health care workers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1089\/tmj.2022.0302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,17]],"date-time":"2022-10-17T14:43:55Z","timestamp":1666017835000},"page":"646-656","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Implementation of Tele-Intensive Care Unit Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Systematic Literature Review and Updated Experience from Shandong Province"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Xuan","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ICU, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xinyan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICU, Dong E Hospital, Liaocheng, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ranran","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICU, Dong E Hospital, Liaocheng, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine A.","family":"Kummer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Superior Medical Experts, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chunting","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICU, Shandong Provincial Hospital, Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","first-page":"CD012927","article-title":"Mobile technologies to support healthcare provider to healthcare provider communication and management of care","volume":"8","author":"Goncalves-Bradley DC","year":"2020","unstructured":"Goncalves-Bradley DC, , Maria ARJ, , Ricci-Cabello I, et al.
