Critical Care

Critical Care Medicine at Magnum aims to provide world-class emergency care 24X7 to patients in potentially life-threatening conditions who require life support systems and other intensive medical interventions. A multi-disciplinary team of critical care specialists provides broad-ranging consultative, diagnostic and therapeutic services to all these patients.

They are well-trained and experienced in handling all types of emergencies and performing intricate invasive and non-invasive emergency procedures at the bedside.

The exemplary efforts put in by the ICU team during the trying period of Covid 19 Pandemic speak volumes of their compassion, competence, and dedication.

We have a state-of-the-art ICU Isolation Units all dedicated to providing the highest level of quality care to different kinds of patients. The department also has separate ICUs for cardiac patients, neuro patients, oncology patients and orthopaedic surgery patients to avoid any chances of infection.

The technological advances in evaluations and management of critically ill patients in all leading hospitals have changed in unimaginable ways. However, the principles of evaluation and management have not changed. The bedside physical examination still remains the cornerstone of clinical judgement. It is much faster, often more accurate and time-saving in emergencies. It is, therefore, the essence of Critical Care Medicine, where immediate interventions can often make the difference between life and death.
