The development of pneumonia in seriously ill patients remains an important concern of intensive care medicine. The design of the intensive care unit will have a direct effect upon the potential for infection. Persons involved in this design should consider engineering and architectural elements that will ultimately contribute to lower rates of infection. These include components to regulate the atmosphere, such as ventilation systems and temperature and humidity controls. Sources of contaminated water and the amplification mechanisms need to be addressed and minimized in the final designs. Architectural elements such as treatment space and lighting encourage optimal patient management and workable staffing patterns. Personnel who treat seriously ill patients should be part of the planning and design process in the construction and renovation of intensive care facilities.
重症患者肺炎的发生仍然是重症医学的一个重要关注点。重症监护病房的设计将直接影响感染的可能性。参与该设计的人员应考虑那些最终有助于降低感染率的工程和建筑要素。这些要素包括调节空气的组件，如通风系统以及温度和湿度控制。在最终设计中，需要解决并尽量减少受污染水的来源和传播机制。诸如治疗空间和照明等建筑要素有助于实现最佳的患者管理和可行的人员配置模式。治疗重症患者的医护人员应参与重症监护设施建设和翻新的规划与设计过程。
