style="text-align: justify;">Department of Critical Care Medicine</h1> <h5 style="text-align: justify;">What is Critical Care ?</h5> <p style="text-align: justify;">Critical Care is a specialty that cares for patients with acute life-threatening illness. Critical Care is delivered through a highly specialized Intensive Care Unit, also known as Intensive Treatment Unit/Critical Care Unit. Patients are usually transferred to ICU after initial stabilization at emergency room, operation theatre or recovery room. Apart from Intensivists, Critical care team includes respiratory therapists, Physiotherapists, Critical care nurses, Dieticians and ICU Technicians. </p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The concept of Critical Care dates back to Florence Nightingale, who felt that there should be a separate area for post operative care. Shock wards were established for treatment of wounded during World War II . Practise of manual ventilation through a tube placed in the trachea was started during polio epidemic in 1947-48 in Denmark. Mechanical Ventilation was developed in1950's. Critical care has evolved over years, into a full fledged specialty managed by highly skilled professionals.</p></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="Centres-of-Excellence D-doctors" id="doctors"><div class="container customExcellence"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-12"><div class="Excellence-title"><h2 class="animate__animated animate__fadeInDown animate__delay-2s">Doctors</h2></div></div></div><div class="row"><div class="col-sm-6 col-md-6 col-lg-4 "><div class="doctors-box-1"><a href="#"><div class="doctors-section-title doc-nameTitle"><h4>Dr. Jithin Jose</h4><p>Consultant Intensivist</p></div><img src="https://admin.sunrisehospitalcochin.com/uploads/doctor/sunrisedoctorphotos-website19-iPLZSrWgJc9ZmeV.png" alt="Best Critical Care Hospital In Kochi"/></a><div class="patients-options"><ul><li><a href="/book-an-appointment?type=1&doctor=31">Book an Appointment</a></li><li><a href="/doctors/dr-jithin-jose">Detailed Profile</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="content-area"><div class="container"></div></section><div id="section_46"><section class="Facilities-section"><div class="container"><div class="row"><div class="col-md-4"><div class="c-titel"><h2 class="animate__animated animate__fadeInDown animate__delay-4s">Treatment & Facilities</h2></div></div><div class="col-md-8"><div class="bs-example"><div class="accordion" id="accordionFacilities"><div class="accordion"><div class="card animate__animated animate__fadeInDown animate__delay-3s"><div class="card-header" id="headingOne collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOneF1"><h2 class="mb-0"><button type="button" class="btn btn-link" variant="link"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i>What kinds of illness require Critical Care ?</button></h2></div><div class="collapse"><div class="card-body"><div><p style="text-align: justify;">Typical examples of Critical Illness includes severe infections, heart ailments, poisoning, stroke, trauma, burns, organ failures and preterm births.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="card animate__animated animate__fadeInDown animate__delay-3s"><div class="card-header" id="headingOne collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapseOneF1"><h2 class="mb-0"><button type="button" class="btn btn-link" variant="link"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i>What is the difference between Critical Care and Emergency Medicine ?</button></h2></div><div class="collapse"><div class="card-body"><div><p style="text-align: justify;">Emergency physicians stabilise patients in Emergency Room.

Critical Care is delivered through a highly specialized Intensive Care Unit, also known as Intensive Treatment Unit/Critical Care Unit.
