【 摘 要 】

The objective of my study was to review the latest recommendations for the infrastructure; human resources; intensive care unit (ICU) design and setting; monitoring and management medical equipment and facilities. Designing an ICU requires both clinical expertise of the critical care practitioner; knowledge of architecture and regulatory and safety standard as well as determination of the level of care to be provided at the hospital. The modern ICU consists of a reception area, patient care area, clinical support and storage area. It should be adequately lit with flexibility of equipment maneuverability for management of patient during emergencies. While setting up a new intensive care unit, clinicians should abreast themselves with the latest recommendation and guidelines for ICU design.
