Survey on the Current Status of IFD Diagnosis and Treatment by Intensive Care Physicians in Sichuan Province (IFS) (IFS)

The goal of this survey is to learn about the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections among intensive care physicians in Sichuan Province (IFS). Its primary focus lies on answering the following questions: ①awareness and proficiency in diagnosis and treatment; ②the use of antifungal medications; ③the application of microbiological identification and diagnostic methods. We aim to analyze the problems and deficiencies that existed among intensive care physicians in order to provide a basis for the development of targeted training and intervention measures.
