Objective:To investigate the current status about administration

human and equipment resources and existing problems of Chongqing comprehensive intensive care units（ICUs）. Methods:All comprehensive ICUs or special ICUs which perform the function of comprehensive ICUs from secondary or tertiary hospitals in Chongqing（excluding military hospitals and specialized hospitals）were recruited for the web-based questionnaire survey. Results:This investigation is a general investigation

76 hospitals including 55 secondary hospitals and 21 tertiary hospitals were included in the investigation.（1）Fifty-one comprehensive ICUs were in closed management model

21 in semi-closed management model

2 in open management model respectively.（2）The quantity of beds in all comprehensive ICUs accounted for 1.74% of beds in all hospitals. The ratio of the amount of ICU doctors to the amount of total hospital beds was 0.6∶1

and the ratio of nurses to beds was1.7∶1. The quantity of ICU beds accounted for（1.56±0.48）% of all beds in tertiary hospitals

fewer than it in the secondary hospital（2.09 ± 0.81）%

while the ratio of the quantity of ICU medical staffs to ICU beds were higher in tertiary hospitals than in the secondary hospital [doctor:（0.75±0.36）∶1

nurse:（1.83±0.78）∶1 vs. doctor:（0.55±0.35）∶1

nurse:（1.50±0.60）∶1)（All P<0.05）.（3）There were more male doctors than female in comprehensive ICUs

but there was no significant difference between secondary and tertiary hospitals. Most of the doctors in secondary hospitals only got a very low level of primary title and college degree while there were more senior positions and intermediate titles in tertiary hospitals and the ratio of medicine master and doctor was higher in tertiary hospitals than in the secondary hospitals.（4）All comprehensive ICUs had well-equipped instrument to conduct many normal operations.（5） The quality control like the prevention and control of hospital infection and APACHE Ⅱ got more attention in all comprehensive ICUs

and some hospitals had the person responsible for it following the guidelines. Conclusion:Great progress has been made in Chongqing intensive care medicine

but there were still problems like lack of the total allocation of clinical personnel

unreasonable structure

unsatisfactory of some normal operations

nonproficiency of new technology

and unbalanced development in different regions.
