AB  - Critical  care  medicine  traces  its  origins  to  the  Crimean  War  of  the  1850s,  when  Florence  Nightingale  designated  a  separate  treatment  space  for  the  most  severely  wounded  soldiers.1  At  this  point,  the  emphasis  was  on  proximity  to  the  nursing  station  and  a  higher  level  of  nursing  care.  In  1923,  Dr.  Walter  Dandy,  a  student  of  Harvey  Cushing,  created  one  of  the  first  surgical  intensive  care  units  when  he  grouped  his  postoperative  neurosurgical  patients  together  in  the  same  treatment  area  at  Johns  Hopkins.2  The  original  emphasis  on  intensive  nursing  care  continued  into  World  War  II,  with  the  development  of  “shock  units”  for  care  of  the  severely  wounded.1
