Planning for the physical facility of an ICU has not kept pace with the dramatic technologic improvements in the care of critically ill patients. Specific guidelines for planning of critical care units must be generated by combined input from physicians, nurses, and architects in order to avoid inconsistency of planning. Because most critical care is delivered in the community facility, planning must be directed toward this type of institution, and adapted as necessary for the university or research center. The 4-yr planning and building of a 40-bed critical care center is described for a community hospital.
重症监护病房（ICU）物理设施的规划未能跟上危重症患者护理方面显著的技术进步。重症监护病房的规划需要医生、护士和建筑师共同提供意见，以制定具体的指导方针，避免规划不一致。由于大多数重症监护是在社区医疗机构中进行的，规划必须针对这类机构，并根据大学或研究中心的需要进行调整。本文介绍了一家社区医院为期4年规划和建设一个拥有40张床位的重症监护中心的情况。
