Cluster randomized trial involving ICUs in Brazil. ICU is the unit of randomization.
The trial will have two stages:
Stage I - Baseline data:
Stage II - Intervention:
This is the main stage for data analysis. ICUs will be randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. The experimental group should use a multidisciplinary rounds with a board certified physician through tele-critical care and take part in meetings to discuss how to improve local quality indicators, and the control group will follow the local standard of care.
