In an eight-bed brain-dead donor care ICU, all routine respiratory therapy care, including ventilator management, was delivered remotely over 12 months using a telecritical care platform.

Remote respiratory therapists completed 3,872 procedures and provided 1,782 hours of care, while in-person support accounted for only 119 hours, or 6.1% of total respiratory therapy time.
