Abstract

The evolution of critical care medicine is inextricably linked to the development of critical care procedures. These procedures not only facilitate diagnosis and treatment of critically ill patients, but also provide valuable insights into disease pathophysiology. While critical care interventions offer undeniable benefits, the potential for iatrogenic complications necessitates careful consideration. The recent surge in critical care ultrasound (US) utilization is a testament to its unique advantages: non-invasiveness, real-time bedside availability, direct visualization of internal structures, elimination of ionizing radiation exposure, repeatability, and relative ease of learning. Recognizing the need to optimize procedures and minimize complications, critical care utrasound study group of Beijing critical care ultrasound research assocition convened a panel of critical care experts to generate this consensus statement. This document serves as a guide for healthcare providers, aiming to ensure patient safety and best practices in critical care.

重症医学的发展伴随着重症相关操作,重症相关操作亦使重症医学得到更深入的发展。通过相关操作可使临床医生了解重症患者的病理生理学,重症相关操作在重症相关诊断、治疗中均起到积极的作用。但重症相关操作带来医源性损伤不容忽视,有些操作会产生严重的后果。随着近年来重症超声在重症医学科的快速发展,重症超声有其独特的优势,具有无创、床旁、可视化、无辐射、可重复、易学等优点,已在临床广泛应用。为更好地规范重症相关操作,北京重症超声研究会重症超声研究组组织了重症相关专家撰写本共识,旨在提高临床医护工作者重症相关操作水平,减少相关并发症。.
