Course Description
The intensive care unit (ICU) is an area specialized where skilled personnel and sophisticated equipment are readily available to manage critically ill patients. It is the most expensive, technologically advanced, and resource-intensive area of medical care. The current trend is that the anesthesia and internal medicine departments share the responsibility of managing these beds. There is a strong demand to increase the ICU beds in all hospitals due to the rise in the aging population and the increasing burden of diseases. However, there is a paucity of trained specialists in critical care medicine.

Emergency and critical care focus on resuscitating unstable patients and allowing time for recovery or the effect of specific therapies to improve outcomes and prevent death. Exemplary critical care provides rapid therapeutic responses to the failing vital organ systems.

The course emphasizes these aspects along with investigations, nutritional support, and common medications used in the ICU.
