Critical Care Medicine (CCM) is a specialty that involves the management of patients with life threatening, frequently complex medical and surgical illnesses. The Department of Critical Care Medicine provides sophisticated, compassionate, and expert care to critically ill patients in our medical center. Our approach to care emphasizes ethical principles and cost-effectiveness. We have in-house consultant coverage round the clock 24 X 7. Quality patient care is optimized through a multidisciplinary team approach which includes intensivists, critical care fellows, nurses, respiratory and physical therapists, pharmacists, nutrition specialists, and social workers. We believe this valuable resource improves the likelihood of survival for critically ill patients, provides appropriate supervision, and reduces complications due to medical errors or poorly performed procedures. We also have facilities for organ support like bedside hemodialysis for patients with renal failure, ECMO for ARDS patients, latest generation ventilators with newer modes and other organ support system
