Intensive Care Unit (ICU)

Development history of the department: When the China-Japan Hospital was built in 1984, the ICU ward was established. At that time, there were 17 open beds, 12 in ICU and 5 in CCU, most of which were single rooms. In 1992, it became an independent department and gathered the first batch of ICU medical teams. In 1990 and 1995, it was responsible for some influential medical treatment work, including the treatment of the injured in the Great Wall landslide and Mr. Chiang Hsiao-Ci of Taiwan. After 2000, Yin Peigang, a full-time physician in the ICU, was appointed as the head of the department, and the ICU has further developed on the road to standardization. In 2003, the ICU took on the task of fighting SARS. Especially after the fight against SARS, with Comrade Li Gang as director, the ICU entered a stage of rapid development. In 2009, it passed the first batch of critical care medicine review and became the critical care medicine department of the hospital. Medical teaching and research have made great progress.

The ICU West Ward is the predecessor of the current Surgical Intensive Care Medicine Department (SICU). In 2015, our department was officially established and named the Department of Surgical Intensive Care Medicine (SICU). Since the establishment of SICU, it has focused on building a surgical critical care brand, actively developed the characteristics of circulatory monitoring and treatment of critically ill patients, and promoted the development of subspecialties such as respiratory, early patient mobilization, and rehabilitation intervention.
