Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) broke out in Wuhan, China, which has rapidly spread from China to at least 200 countries abroad. COVID-19 was issued a global outbreak and pandemic by the World Health Organization with more than 3 million confirmed cases by May 31, 2020. So far more than ten thousand severe and critically ill patients and hospital-related infection with COVID-19 have been reported with more than four thousand deaths in China. There is a great challenge for intensive care units (ICUs) in hospitals.
The comment mainly focused on admission and discharge criteria, therapy protocol, prevention and control strategies for ICU during COVID-19 outbreak. The emergency strategy for ICU will be helpful for prevention and control of COVID-19 and treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19.
Progress in the management of ICU is crucial for a decrease in the mortality of critically ill patients with COVID-19 with the clinical evidence and experience updated.
自 2019 年 12 月以来，一种新型冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）在中国武汉爆发，该病毒迅速从中国传播到至少 200 个国外国家。COVID-19 被世界卫生组织发布为全球爆发和大流行，截至 2020 年 5 月 31 日，已确诊超过 300 万例。到目前为止，中国报告了超过一万例严重和危重症 COVID-19 患者以及与 COVID-19 相关的医院感染，死亡人数超过 4000 人。这对医院的重症监护病房（ICU）构成了巨大挑战。
该评论主要集中在 COVID-19 爆发期间 ICU 的入院和出院标准、治疗方案、预防和控制策略。ICU 的紧急策略将有助于 COVID-19 的预防和控制以及 COVID-19 危重症患者的治疗。
随着临床证据和经验的更新，在管理 ICU 方面取得进展对于降低 COVID-19 危重症患者的死亡率至关重要。
