About this specialty
Critical care medicine covers the management of the critically ill: respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation, sepsis and septic shock, multi-organ failure, neurological emergencies, post-surgical complications, and paediatric and neonatal intensive care.
Intensive care decisions are made quickly and under pressure, and families often face choices they do not understand. Our consultants review the record, the imaging and the ventilator settings, and provide a clear second opinion for the family and the treating team alike.
