ABOUT

Greetings from Dr Pradeep Rangappa…It has been my long-cherished desire to come out with a website with an earnest resolve and intent to disseminate knowledge, wisdom and core essence of Intensive Care to all the budding trainees, health care practitioners, nurses and para-medical staff delivering care in Intensive Care. Having been in Intensive Care for last twenty years and having deliberated on various topics in Intensive Care through various lectures in different parts of India and abroad, I wished to deliver the essence of this vast speciality through video presentations to help every listener to distil and crystallize the core aspects of Intensive Care. Altruistic intent of this web-page is also to put up core exam questions with answers in video format to help candidates giving exams to recall and reproduce the expected answers in exams.

Website is process in evolution and as you would agree, it takes tremendous amount of effort and time amidst our busy schedule as full-time specialist in corporate hospital to make these videos. I have to sincerely thank my colleagues and trainees in my hospital who have patiently heard through these lectures, given me feed-back and have contributed in a valuable way to the development of these lectures.

I request each of the listener to exercise discretion in applying the knowledge gained to their clinical practice and co-relate to the current evidence and individual hospital policy governing the practice in the geographic areas one may be working in.

As some of you who know me would be aware of my keen interest in Medical Philately and Medical Numismatics and dwelling into history of medicine using them. I have created a domain on the same for anyone who may be interested in exploring the history of medicine through a colourful and beautiful window of postage stamp or a coin or a bank note.

I thank Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna and my spiritual masters in helping me with wisdom at every step to work and evolve towards a useful cause, thank my family who has supported me at every step in endeavours undertaken, My sincere gratitude and thanks to my beloved teacher Professor Dr Sriram Sampath who infused me with zeal and enthusiasm to pursue career in Intensive Care and has been pivotal in my journey so far. I owe my success so far to all the values and knowledge gained from him. More than a teacher he has guided me in every key career decision I have taken until now, I offer my sincere obeisances to him.
