Abstract

Critical ultrasonography is widely used in ICU and has become an indispensable tool for clinicians. However, besides operator-dependency of critical ultrasonography, lack of standardized training mainly result in the physicians' heterogenous ultrasonic skill. Therefore, standardized training as well as strict quality control plays the key role in the development of critical ultrasonography. We present this quality control standards to promote better development of critical ultrasonography.

重症超声在重症医学相关领域的应用日益广泛,已成为重症专业医生不可或缺的检查、评估与监测手段。但由于超声本身较强的操作者依赖性,且很多医生未能接受规范的重症超声培训,导致认识与应用水平参差不齐。因此,规范重症超声培训及严格质量控制非常关键。为此制定了本标准,以推动重症超声更好地发展。.
