Areas of Expertise

Dr Akshat provides comprehensive critical care management across medical, surgical, and perioperative ICU settings, with hands-on experience in the full range of life-threatening conditions requiring intensive monitoring and organ support.

Respiratory and Infectious Critical Illness

Severe respiratory conditions are among the most common life-threatening presentations in the ICU, requiring expert ventilatory and antimicrobial management:

• Severe pneumonia and ARDS management
• Mechanical ventilation and ventilator weaning
• Non-invasive ventilatory support

Gastrointestinal and Hepatic Critical Illness

Acute gastrointestinal and liver decompensation frequently require intensive monitoring, nutritional support, and organ-specific interventions to prevent multi-organ failure:

• Acute pancreatitis and its systemic complications
• Liver cirrhosis and acute-on-chronic liver failure
• Gastrointestinal bleeding requiring intensive monitoring
• Hepatic encephalopathy management

Acute Kidney Injury and Renal Critical Care

Kidney injury in the critically ill patient requires early recognition, cause-directed treatment, and timely initiation of renal replacement therapy to improve survival outcomes:

• Antimicrobial stewardship in the ICU
• Haemodynamic optimisation using vasopressors and inotropes
