Th ere is no census on critical care resources in China, including the number of ICUs, intensivists, ICU nurses, and relevant facilities (for example, bedside monitors, artifi cial ventilators), because no national survey has ever been performed. Considering the above limitations and potential improve ment, we do believe that Chinese intensivists may benefi t from academic exchange with the international medical community with regard to the following: development of a series of training programs fulfi lling international standards; development of a national board exam for critical care medicine; and conduction of multicenter trials compatible with good clinical practice.	./cache/cord-300897-lih5f6cj.txt	./txt/cord-300897-lih5f6cj.txt
