Over the past decade, winners of the Society of Critical Care Medicine's critical care unit design award have demonstrated an increase in overall square footage, but this trend has been inconsistent. The following analysis compares the space allocation of 15 recently completed critical care units to document trends in overall space allocation and compare the allocation of space between small, medium, and large units. This study indicates that the number of beds, net-to-gross factor, and net square feet per bed of the 15 units examined increased as the departmental gross square feet per bed increased. Within the net or usable square footage allocation, all categories of space increased progressively as the overall space increased, with the exception of direct patient care space and patient care support space categories. Overall, averages are provided to be used as preliminary benchmarks for organizations evaluating their existing critical care units or planning replacement units.
在过去十年中，危重病医学学会重症监护病房设计奖的获得者们展示出整体面积有所增加，但这一趋势并不稳定。以下分析比较了15个近期建成的重症监护病房的空间分配情况，以记录整体空间分配的趋势，并比较小型、中型和大型病房之间的空间分配。这项研究表明，随着每个床位的科室总建筑面积增加，所考察的15个病房的床位数、净毛比以及每床位的净平方英尺数也随之增加。在净或可用平方英尺分配范围内，除直接患者护理空间和患者护理支持空间类别外，所有空间类别随着整体空间的增加而逐步增加。总体而言，提供的平均值可作为各组织评估其现有重症监护病房或规划替代病房的初步基准。
