중환자실 배치와 내부계획에 관한 연구 ( A Study on the Layout and Interior Planning of I.C.U. in Hospital )

The existing intensive care units surveyed in this study have show many problems in providing suitable quality of care for patients. One of typical phenomena is that most of the surveyed intensive care units experienced the change of location in the course of expansion and the new locations are not suitable in terms of size, engineering services and relationship with other related departments. So it can be argued that the current problems are mainly caused by the lack of long-term development plan of an intensive care unit as well as the poor understanding of its architectural requirements.
