description Medical colleges are now developing or refurbishing their anaesthesia intensive care units. In most teaching colleges, the residency post includes working in the critical care unit (CCU). Critical care is a rapidly evolving and popular super-speciality for postgraduate students. In some hospitals, anaesthesiologists play a key role in the management of the CCU. As perioperative physicians, all anaesthesiologists should be aware of the recent advancements in diagnostic and monitoring gadgets and investigations in critical care so that they may manage perioperative events effectively. Haemodynamic monitoring gives us warning signs about the change in the internal milieu of the patient. Point-of-care ultrasonography helps in rapid differential diagnosis. Point-of-care diagnostics give us instant bed-side information on the condition of a patient. Biomarkers help in confirming diagnosis, in monitoring, treatment, and providing prognosis. Molecular diagnostics guide anaesthesiologists in providing specific treatment to a causative agent. This article touches upon all of these management strategies in critical care and attempts to put forth the recent advancements in this speciality.
