ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of modern science and technology, the treatment level of all disciplines of modern medicine has been rapidly improved. The number of critically ill patients in large third-level first-class general hospitals is increasing day by day. Intensive care unit (ICU) has become an important embodiment of the comprehensive strength of a hospital, especially the affiliated hospital of medical university or a tertiary hospital. This paper aims to discuss the role, status and contribution of critical care medicine in the development and construction of modern medicine and general hospitals, the relationship between hospital management and critical care medicine management, and the future development and construction direction of critical care medicine from the perspective of the managers of third-level first-class general hospitals.
