A growing number of surgical patients with increasingly complex or specialized diseases are being treated in Chinese hospitals.However,the traditional perianesthesia working mode of anesthesiolo-gists cannot meet the needs of the development of modern medicine.With the vigorous development of anes-thesiology,anesthesiologists have moved from the operating room to the practitioners of the perioperative treatment of critically ill patients.Anesthesia intensive care unit(AICU)is a place to offer multidisciplinary care,such as postoperative recovery,monitoring and treatment for critically ill patients in the perioperative period through a team of specialists,predominantly anesthesiologists.AICU is an important platform to prac-tice perioperative medicine.This paper elucidates the necessity and disciplinary advantages of developing AICU to provide references for the high-quality management of perioperative patients.
