Article Abstract
Background: Telemedicine intensivist-led intensive care (electronic intensive care unit [eICU]) is recommended when on-site intensivist-led intensive care is not available. Although the effects of eICU on patient outcomes are comparable with bedside intensivist-led care, not all implementations of eICU are successful in improving patient outcomes. Therefore, the aims of this study were to (1) examine the associations of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, nurses' attitudes toward eICU, and intention to use and (2) determine which participant characteristics were associated with these four dependent variables.
Methods: This cross-sectional, correlational study asked bedside registered nurses to complete an anonymous online survey to explore their acceptance of eICU.
Results: Nurses' attitude toward eICU and intention-to-use eICU demonstrated the strongest association, r(120) = 0.83, p < .001. The most significant variable associated with perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, nurses' attitudes toward eICU, and intention to use was support from nurses. In addition, support from physicians was significantly associated with perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and nurses' attitudes toward eICU.
Conclusions: Support from both bedside physicians and registered nurses in the intensive care unit had the most association with acceptance of the eICU service. Gaining their support to use an eICU service is essential.

Background: In pediatric intensive care units, pain, sedation, delirium, and iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) must be managed as interrelated conditions. Although clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) exist, new evidence needs to be incorporated, gaps in recommendations addressed, and recommendations adapted to the European context.
Objective: This protocol describes the development of the first patient- and family-informed European guideline for managing pain, sedation, delirium, and IWS by the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) typically causes febrile illness and arthralgia. However, severe complications such as encephalitis, rhabdomyolysis, and multiorgan dysfunction are increasingly recognised, particularly during epidemics in endemic regions. We report a case of a 61-year old male presenting with progressive flaccid paraparesis and respiratory failure following febrile illness.

Importance: Hospitals have reported growing difficulty in discharging patients in a timely manner, often citing bottlenecks in postacute care. Medicare Advantage plans, now the dominant form of Medicare coverage, may contribute to these delays due to administrative and network constraints, yet national evidence is lacking.
Objective: To quantify changes in hospital length of stay for Medicare Advantage vs traditional Medicare beneficiaries.

Importance: Neonatal intensive care has advanced over recent decades, yet premature birth remains associated with increased neonatal mortality and morbidity.
Objective: To describe health service use, morbidity, and medication needs up to age 5 years in a contemporary cohort of children born preterm.

Importance: The cost-effectiveness of adding early in-bed cycling to usual physiotherapy among adults receiving mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared with usual physiotherapy alone is unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of in-bed cycling plus usual physiotherapy compared with usual therapy alone in the Critical Care Cycling to Improve Lower Extremity Strength (CYCLE) randomized clinical trial.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This trial-based economic evaluation with a 90-day time horizon compared early cycling plus usual physiotherapy vs usual physiotherapy alone from a societal perspective.
