In the hospital's ICU (intensive care unit),"island of life" was a name for the ICU bed unit. This name originated from the fact that there were many instruments for first aid, monitoring, and treatment around the patient, as well as life support equipment. The medical staff relied on these equipment to provide emergency care and monitoring for each patient, trying to protect the patient's life. It symbolized that the ICU was the last line of defense for critically ill patients, and it also reflected the efforts and care of the medical staff in this area.

They usually show realistic medical equipment and scenarios. Also, they might focus on the emotions and interactions of patients and staff.
The first hospital in China to have an ICU was Peking Union Medical College Hospital. In 1982, Peking Union Medical College Hospital established the first hospital bed in the surgical ICU. In 1984, Peking Union Medical College Hospital established the first standardized comprehensive ICU in China with seven beds in reference to the international advanced academic concepts and organizational models.

In 1923, Dr. Walter Dandy opened a post-surgical recovery room for neurosurgery patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States. This was the first ICU in the history of the world. Although there were only three beds at that time, it could be regarded as the earliest symbol of the establishment of ICU beds. In addition, China's first modern ICU bed was established by Professor Chen Dechang in Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences in 1982.

The ICU (intensive care unit) was a place for intensive monitoring and intensive treatment of critically ill patients. For patients, their lives in the ICU were under strict medical supervision. There were bedside monitors, central monitors, and many other devices that continuously monitored the patient's vital signs such as heartbeat and blood pressure. If the patient had severe respiratory failure, he might rely on a respiratory machine to maintain his life; patients with severe heart disease might need cardiac support equipment; patients with severe infection would receive close monitoring and treatment; patients with severe trauma also needed follow-up close monitoring after emergency surgery. In terms of medical care, the ICU gathered excellent medical staff. Usually, there was one doctor for every two beds and two to three nurses for each bed. They would apply advanced monitoring and life support technology to perform continuous and dynamic qualitative and/or quantitative monitoring of the patient's physiological functions, assess the pathophysical state, severity of the condition, and urgency of treatment, and provide standardized and high-quality life support. However, the patient's experience in the ICU could be full of suffering, such as facing round after round of infection, the despair of seeing the improved data suddenly fall to the bottom, and the failure to extubate. Moreover, the cost of treatment in the ICU might be high, which was also a huge test for the patient's family. "The Island of Life" is also a wonderful novel. Everyone is welcome to read it!
The ICU represented the Intensive care unit, which was the core department of the hospital. It was a combination of modern medical theory and technology, high-tech modern medical equipment, and excellent medical staff. It was a hospital that focused on monitoring and strengthening the treatment and care of critically ill patients. " The Island of Life " is also a wonderful novel. Everyone is welcome to read it!
The ICU (intensive care unit) was the last line of defense to protect life. It maintained life through a series of measures. First of all, in terms of equipment, they would use a breathing machine to assist the patient in breathing and ensure the supply of oxygen. This was crucial for patients with respiratory failure or respiratory arrest. At the same time, there would also be various monitoring devices that could monitor the patient's vital signs in real time, such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, etc. The medical staff would use these data to detect changes in the patient's condition in time and take corresponding measures. Secondly, in terms of the medical staff's care, the daily shift handover was detailed and there was a bedside handover of patients. The patient's condition changes for 24 hours would be reported, including the amount of intake and discharge, consciousness, skin, tubes, diet, secretion, fluids, and the equipment used for treatment. The medical staff would also assist patients who were unable to move their limbs, turn over, pat their backs, and expel phlegm. Moreover, the ICU's treatment and monitoring were different for different types of patients. For example, patients with nervous system, muscle-skeletal system, and chronic respiratory system diseases who gradually stabilized after intensive treatment but could not receive intensive care in ordinary wards could easily lead to the relapse of their conditions, or a considerable number of patients who could not return to their families due to illness or family reasons, or even some patients with terminal malignant diseases who needed to improve their quality of life, or patients who urgently needed surgery but had unstable vital signs could be admitted to the Internal Medicine ICU. Under the premise of fully evaluating the patient's condition and effectively controlling the primary disease and complications, while continuing the basic treatment, professional intensive care specialist nurses would provide nursing care and select appropriate rehabilitation techniques for rehabilitation treatment to achieve the purpose of maintaining life, stabilizing the condition, and improving the quality of life. However, there was also controversy over whether some patients should be maintained in the ICU. For example, for a 95-year-old patient who relied on a ventilator to maintain his life and had no quality of life to speak of, it might not be meaningful to continue treatment, and it might even lead to a loss of both life and money. However, if the doctor judged that the patient's life was seriously threatened and there was a possibility of reversibility, then life support in the ICU was valuable.

The ICU (intensive care unit) was mainly responsible for the rescue and continuous life support of critically ill patients, the treatment and organ function support of patients with multiple organ malfunction, and the prevention and treatment of multiple organ malfunction syndrome. There were many types of life support technologies. The following were some common life support technologies: ** 1. Breathing Support Technique ** 1. ** oxygen therapy ** - This included nasal tube oxygen therapy, mask oxygen therapy, and nasal high flow wet oxygen therapy (HFNAC). With the help of this device, the patient would be able to breathe in a relatively constant oxygen concentration (21% - 100%), temperature (31 - 37 ° C), and humidity with a high flow rate (8 - 80L/min). The patient would also receive oxygen therapy through nasal obstruction, which was very comfortable. 2. ** Mechanical ventilation ** - This was a method of ventilation that used mechanical devices to replace, control, or change spontaneous breathing. - ** Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation **: A technique that does not require invasive or invasive intubation or incision of the trachea. The patient is only connected to the ventilation machine through a nasal mask, a mouth and nose mask, a full face mask, or a head mask to perform positive pressure assisted ventilation. - ** Injured mechanical ventilation **: It is suitable for brain trauma, infection, stroke accidents, poisoning, bronchi, lung diseases, respiratory muscle weakness or paralysis; chest trauma, lung, heart surgery; CPR and other acute and critical diseases that involve breathing. Mechanical ventilation was used with the help of a respiratory machine to maintain unobstructed airways, improve ventilation and oxygen exchange, prevent the body from lacking oxygen and carbon dioxide accumulation, and create conditions for the treatment of underlying diseases. It was the most effective method to treat respiratory failure and critically ill patients. ** II. Eccentric Membrane Oxification (Eccentric Membrane Oxification)** It was suitable for critically ill patients with heart and lung problems, such as respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. It could assist breathing and blood circulation, and was regarded as the "ultimate weapon" in the intensive care unit (ICU). Although it was not a treatment method for the cause of the disease, it could replace the patient's heart and lung function in the short term, prolong the patient's life, and create time for the treatment of the primary disease. It played an irreplaceable role in the rescue of critically ill patients. "The Island of Life" is also a wonderful novel. Everyone is welcome to read it!
"Green Island of Life" had different meanings. In terms of literary works, Yi Jun's work Green Island used marriage and love as the theme, linking China green tea culture and memorial archway culture together, but there was no clear direct connection between "Life Green Island" and this literary work. In terms of medical buildings, the reconstruction and expansion project of Longhua Branch of the People's Hospital of Shen Zhen City (Phase I) was designed with the concept of "Life Green Island" to create an abundant green space in an extremely limited space. The central garden of about 2000 square meters was surrounded by the medical technology inpatient building, logistics complex building and related supporting buildings to provide patients with a convenient and comfortable medical experience. It was to build a municipal comprehensive third-class hospital that integrated medical treatment, scientific research, teaching, preventive health care, and rehabilitation. The Neonatal Department of Changzhi City's Hospital was also working hard to build a "Green Island of Life." There were angels in white guarding the newborns 24 hours a day. There were advanced equipment and a perfect diagnosis and treatment system to protect the growth of newborns. "The Island of Life" is also a wonderful novel. Everyone is welcome to read it!
The ICU was a core department of the hospital that integrated modern medical theory and technology, high-tech modern medical equipment, and excellent medical staff. It was a hospital that focused on monitoring and strengthening treatment and care for critically ill patients. Life-threatening patients, such as patients with heart failure, cerebral hemorrhage, paralysis, severe trauma, blood loss, and shock, were gathered here. They were equipped with bedside monitors, central monitors, multi-functional respiratory therapy machines, and many other equipment to provide the best guarantee for the patients in terms of manpower, material resources, and technology. It was the intersection of life and death, so it could be said to be the closest place to life. " The Island of Life " is also a wonderful novel. Everyone is welcome to read it!
The commonly used vital monitoring indicators in intensive care were as follows: 1. ** Body temperature **: A normal person's armpit temperature is 36 - 37 degrees Celsius. The oral temperature is 0.2 - 0.4 degrees Celsius higher than the armpit temperature, and the nasal temperature is 0.3 - 0.5 degrees Celsius higher than the oral temperature. Higher than normal body temperature is referred to as fever, which is seen in infection, trauma, malignant tumor, cerebral venous accident, and various body cavity bleeding. Low body temperature is seen in shock, severe malnutrition, hypochondriac function, and prolonged exposure to low temperature. 2. ** Pulse **: 60 - 100 beats per minute is the normal value, with an average of 72 beats per minute. It is slightly faster for females, with an average of 90 beats per minute for children, 130 beats per minute for infants, and 55 - 60 beats per minute for the elderly. 3. ** Breathing **: Normal breathing rate is an important indicator. 4. Blood pressure: The stability of blood pressure is also one of the key vital signs. 5. [Consciousness: The patient's state of consciousness can reflect the patient's condition.] 6. ** Pupils **: The changes in the pupils are of great significance in determining the condition of the patient. 7. ** urine volume **: The amount of urine can reflect the function of organs such as the kidneys and the body's infusion. In addition, the acute physiological and chronic health score (ApacheII score) and the Sequential organ failure score (SOFA score) were the key indicators to assess the severity of the ICU patient's condition and predict the prognosis. The Apache II score includes body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, level of consciousness, oxygen index, white blood cell count, Platelet count, and the glasburg coma score. Each system scores according to specific physiological parameters (0 - 4 points). The higher the score, the more serious the organ function damage. The assessment is performed once a day to reflect the dynamic changes of the condition and to adjust the treatment plan. The SOFA score was based on the functional status of multiple organ systems (0 - 4 points). The higher the score, the more serious the organ function damage, which helped doctors and family members to grasp the condition. "The Island of Life" is also a wonderful novel.
