Dr. Vala Berjis, MD

As an expert critical care physician, Dr. Vala Berjis, MD takes a comprehensive approach to care for patients in the ICU who are at risk or recovering from life-threatening conditions. Critical care physicians or intensivists leads a caregiving team to supervise a critical patient's condition and administer medication as and when needed. He follows evidence-based guidelines to provide intensive care that results in benefits such as improved survival rates, reduced complications, shorter stays in the ICU, and enhanced safety of the administered medication. The roles of critical care physicians include invasive monitoring techniques, providing life support, resuscitation, and end-of-life care.

Critical care medicine comes into play when the medical needs of patients are greater than what is possible for a hospital’s general ward to provide. Certain indications that patients have to be admitted to the ICU include particular cardiac arrhythmias, sepsis, multi-organ failure, hypertension, and/or hypotension. In a clinical setting, critical care medicine involves a system-by-system treatment approach, which involves nine vital systems- cardiovascular system, endocrine system, central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, integumentary system, hematology, microbiology, renal system, and respiratory system. Critical care medicine is a medical specialty that trains physicians to be aware of the complications that may arise in the ICU and how to respond to them.
