The development of respiratory medicine has evolved from the prevention and treatment of tuberculosis in 1950 s to the care of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and corpulmonale disease in 1970 s. In the past 20 years, it has further advanced into the integration of pulmonary medicine (PM) and critical care (CC), becoming a dominant form of global disciplines in respiratory medicine. The subspecialty training system of pulmonary and critical care medicine (PCCM) is a decisive measure to ensure the standardized development of respiratory medicine, and medical intensive care unit (MICU) is the most important clinical practice field for respiratory medicine in China, which plays a crucial role in promoting the substantial construction of the critical care medical system within the PCCM subspecialty, thus contributing to the development of the discipline.呼吸病学的发展从结核病防治到慢性阻塞性肺疾病和肺源性心脏病照护,近20年来已发展到呼吸病学(PM)和危重症照护(CC)捆绑交融,并已成为全球性学科主导形式,呼吸与危重症医学(PCCM)专科医师培训体系是保障同质化发展的关键所在,而内科重症监护病房(MICU)是呼吸学科最重要的发展领域,实质性推进PCCM中危重症医疗体系能力建设是学科发展重要举措。.
