DIAGNOSTICS

• Critical Care Echocardiography (CCE): This compact, portable equipment provides image acquisition and interpretation by the critically unstable patient. This helps the intensivist to come to a conclusion regarding a comprehensive management plan. It helps categorize shock and respiratory failure, check coexisting complications of therapies, and track the evolution of critical illness and is best suited for patients with life-threatening conditions. 
• Electroencephalogram (EEG): Also known as a continuous EEG monitoring machine, it is a highly sophisticated brain monitoring machine that allows the Intensive Critical Care specialist and enables them to decide the future course of medical action. The non-invasive, portable machine provides real-time continuous brain monitoring that helps experts in seizure detection and management, ischemia and sedation monitoring and neuro-prognostication, etc. 
• Transcranial Doppler (TCD): Better known as TCD ultrasound imaging machine detects medical problems that affect blood flow in the brain. These problems that can be identified include blood clots, interpreting the speed and direction, narrowed sections of blood vessels, haemorrhage, and so on. It is a painless process and the soundwaves are recorded and displayed on a computer screen. 
• Bedside Ultrasound: Also known as Critical Care Ultrasonography (CCUS), the portable machine is primarily used in emergency departments and intensive care units It is used to take ultrasounds near the patient’s hospital bed and allows clinical decisions, support tools, and the ability to share images easily for further consultations.
• Point Of Care Testing (POCT: The tests are carried out near the patient and it provides rapid test results in critically ill patients in the Intensive Care Unit. The Critical Care Unit experts, which could be trained Emergency Department (ED) trained technicians or nurses perform POCT tests such as blood, urine, swabs from mucosal surfaces, or saliva.
• Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Analysis: The ABG test accurately measures the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and pH balance in the patient’s blood. The tests are done to ensure how well the lungs and kidneys are functioning.
• Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring: The monitoring machine provides information on the performance of the cardiovascular system including lung status, blood pressure, blood flow, volume status, etc. With this, expert doctors are able to gain vital information necessary in decision-making during hemodynamic instability.
