Abstract: The concept "panic value" (or critical value) was first brought up by American scholar Lundberg[1] in 1972.It refers to the results of auxiliary examinations that are widely deviating from normal or anticipated results.The occurrence of these abnormal results shows that patients could be in a dangerous situation that their lives might be threatened.If clinicians are able to get the information in time and provide the patients with effective interventions or treatments promptly,lives could be saved.Otherwise,there could be serious consequences and the best opportunities for rescuing the patients might be missing.[2]
