Article Synopsis
- Telemedicine has the potential to improve care in remote areas, but current evidence is insufficient to confirm its effectiveness in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
- An open-label cluster-randomized trial was conducted in 16 PICUs in Brazil, comparing telemedicine-supported care to standard care with outcomes focused on PICU length of stay, mortality rate, and ventilator-free days.
- No significant differences were found in the outcomes between the telemedicine intervention group and the control group, underlining the challenges of implementing telemedicine effectively in pediatric critical care settings.

The objective of this study is to present the protocol of a cluster randomized clinical trial to be conducted through the TeleICU project - Qualification of Intensive Care by Telemedicine. The study will consist of a cluster randomized clinical trial, open label, in pediatric intensive care units, with an allocation ratio of 1:1, to compare the intervention group (support of Telemedicine for patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit) with a control group (pediatric intensive care unit usual care). The study proposed to select 16 pediatric intensive care units, including 100 participants per site, with a total of 1,600 participants.
