A modern ICU represents the pinnacle of any hospital’s approach to highly technological & sophisticated in-patient care. Over the last two decades, there has been a virtual knowledge explosion in our understanding of critical illness. The past decade has seen the ICU evolve from a rule of thumb experience based practice to an increasingly precise and scientifically based one. 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 (Pulmonary) or disease (Endocrinology). It, therefore, challenges the very traditions of responsibility for the custodial care of patients. Consultant from anaesthesia, general medicine, pulmonary & surgery can undergo further training in critical care medicine to become a CCM physician.
