Abstract

Critical care medicine has progressed significantly over the past two to three decades. We will review the history and evolution of critical care medicine and ICUs in the United States. The evolving health care delivery system and the changing and important role of the intensivist will be addressed. Finally, a discussion about what critical care physicians must do to prepare for the future is presented.
