The current coronavirus pandemic has impacted heavily on ICUs worldwide. Although many hospitals and healthcare systems had plans in place to manage multiple casualties as a result of major natural disasters or accidents, there was insufficient preparation for the sudden, massive influx of severely ill patients with COVID-19. As a result, systems and staff were placed under immense pressure as everyone tried to optimize patient management. As the pandemic continues, we must apply what we have learned about our response, both good and bad, to improve organization and thus patient care in the future.
当前的冠状病毒大流行对全球的 ICU 造成了严重影响。尽管许多医院和医疗保健系统都有应对重大自然灾害或事故导致的大量伤亡的计划，但对于 COVID-19 重症患者的突然大量涌入，准备却不足。因此，随着系统和人员都在努力优化患者管理，系统和人员都承受着巨大的压力。随着大流行的继续，我们必须吸取我们在应对措施中所学到的经验教训，无论是好是坏，以改善未来的组织和患者护理。
