Abstract:
The medicine of critical disease is a clinical discipline that gradually sprang up in the late 1960s.Yet at present controversy still exists as to whether the discipline should be regarded as a separate one and it has not been ranked among the separate disciplines listed by the State Educational Committee. The authors, however, give an account of the customers and the cunent situation of disciplinary development of the discipline of critical disease from the petspective of a discipline. They also offer an account of the organizational structure and the form of staff of ICUs,pointing out that ICUs have 3 subjects structurally and are divided into CategoriesⅠ,Ⅱand Ⅲ. Except for ICUs in a few hospitals that are up to the level of Category Ⅱl, ICU s in most hospitals in China are lower than or just up to the level of Category Ⅰ. Then the authors give an introduction to the three forms of ICU management: open, semi-open and closed.
