An attempt was made to outline a program of intensive care on the basis of experience with 396 patients with hematologic diseases admitted in a critical condition (shock of various genesis, mainly bacterial, acute liver and renal insufficiency, spontaneous hemorrhage, etc.) taking into account the characteristic signs of such patients. The percentage of patients transferred to the hematology department rose from 36.2 to 47.9% as a result of 14-year experience. A conclusion was made of the appropriateness of such a department in each major inpatient hematologic clinic.
