Video-conferencing / Video-assessment
 Video-conferencing
/ video-assessment equipment provides full-motion capabilities and
enables real-time interaction with on-site caregivers and patients.
High-quality, in-room cameras allow the eICU® team to see each patient
and make important visual assessments. eICU clinicians control the
cameras' direction and magnification, and frequently used settings
can be saved (e.g. ventilators, wide angle view, etc) and immediately
reaccessed. Video resolution is excellent, and remote clinicians
are able to evaluate many elements of the physical examination,
including respiratory effort, diaphoresis, and skin color. The eICU
team can easily switch between patients in order to perform virtual
rounds, while an auditory cue and camera position alerts on-site
staff that the system is in use.
