Abstract: At present, most of the common medical clothes in clinic are uniform medical clothes, but there is no special clothes for patients in intensive care unit (ICU). In recent years, with the extensive application of critical ultrasound in the field of critical medicine, it is obviously difficult to meet the clinical needs on traditional patients' clothes. Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital designed a patient's clothing for critical ultrasound examination. The left/right chest, lateral chest, groin and abdomen of the patient's clothing body were covered with cloth and marked areas. When critically ill patients need to be examined by ultrasound and electrocardiogram, the site can be quickly located only by removing the cloth. At the same time, it can protect patients' privacy, avoid aggravating the condition due to cold, increase patients' comfort in clothing, and also facilitate medical care. It is worthy popularizing in clinic because of its practicability and novel design.
