Critical Care Medicine (CCM) is a specialty that involves the management of patients with life threatening, frequently complex medical and surgical illness. These patients may have dysfunction or failure of one or more organ systems, including the cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, liver, kidney or gastrointestinal systems. Procedures used to help support and identify the cause of the critical illness include endotracheal intubation, central venous catheterization, arterial canulation, pulmonary artery catheterization, bronchoscopy, lumbar puncture, thoracentesis, paracentesis, and chest tube thoracostomy
A modern ICU represents the pinnacle of any hospital's approach to highly technological & sophisticated in-patient care. Critical care medicine today, is at the cutting edge of most of the technological advances in modern medicine and information technology. It takes on a cognition based structured approach, by basing patient selection on acuity. instead of age (Geriatric medicine), techniques (Anaesthesiology), organ (Pulmonology) or disease (endocrinology). It therefore challenges the very traditions of responsibility for the custodial care of patients. Consultant from anaesthesia, general medicine, pulmonology and surgery can undergo further training in critical care medicine to become a CCM physician.
