Abstract:
Yichang Central People's Hospital is a large prefecture-level tertiary hospital in Hubei Province. Since the late foundation and interdisciplinary characteritics, the department of emergency and critical care medicine faced many difficulties during development. Based on the actual situation of the hospital, leaders of the hospital and two disciplines advocated their core values of "putting patients' interests first and building team spirit". In consideration of the timeliness, multidisciplinary collaboration and importance of critical care, the department of emergency and critical care medicine in Yichang Central People's Hospital of Hubei Province was set up, and an integrated first-aid platform was established. The concept of "5-minute emergency life chain" was proposed, which highlighted the status and role of the department of emergency and critical care medicine in modern medical rescue and modern general hospitals. In the past 5 years, the emergency department and intensive care unit have made rapid development, including successful establishment of national demonstration centers for chest pain and stroke. Quality of the discipline has also been greatly improved, and a new construction path of department of the emergency and critical care medicine has been created.
