Can an electronic ICU support timely renal replacement therapy in resource-limited areas of the developing world

Résumé fourni par la source

Timely availability of a kidney specialist poses a formidable challenge in ICUs located in tier II and tier III cities of the developing world. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is often required in the ICU for acute renal failure patients but availability of a nephrologist/ specialist is scarce, leading to unnecessary and risky transfer to higher centers in metropolitans or even worse to death. We explored whether a remotely monitored ICU - an electronic ICU (eICU) - would help mitigate this demand-supply gap.
