Emergency and Critical Care Approach
Critical care focuses on patients whose illness can affect breathing, circulation, consciousness, or the function of major organs. These patients may require continuous monitoring, oxygen therapy, mechanical ventilation, invasive monitoring, or coordination between several medical specialties.
Dr. Kumar’s specialist training combines internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, and critical care. This is particularly relevant when serious illness is driven by severe pneumonia, respiratory failure, complicated asthma, COPD, or another acute lung problem.
His procedural background includes bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, and critical-care ultrasonography. Such procedures may assist diagnosis or treatment when clinically appropriate.
Care in an intensive-care setting is adjusted according to changes in breathing, blood pressure, laboratory findings, organ function, imaging, and the patient’s response to treatment.
