Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
PICUs is the unit of randomization. All patients admitted to the PICUs selected to participate in the project will be included in the study allocated to the control or intervention group as their respective hospitals are randomized.
Intervention group: Tele-rounds are case discussions with remote pediatric intensive care physicians and physicians from other specialties, such as a radiologist, infectious disease specialist, for the debate on conducts based on the best scientific evidence. Additionally, concurrently with the period of application of the intervention, continuing education activities will be made available to all professionals from the teams of the participating centers. Education activities are held monthly and consist of video classes and discussions of complex cases.
Control group: This group will maintain the usual care offered by the participating centers.

Telemedicine intervention
Tele-critical care + continuing education activities
Telemedicine Intervention
Tele-Critical Care: 1) establishing a diagnosis 2) guiding the therapeutic approach and 3) performing clinical follow-up. Physicians will discuss all patients in the unit, bed by bed, evaluating the specific clinical situation of each hospitalized patient, according to the protocol developed by the study.The proposal is to maintain horizontal care (the patient is monitored from the 1st day of hospitalization until discharge) for all patients in the unit.
\+
Continuing education activities: video classes and discussions of complex cases.
