It gives me a great pleasure to write the foreword for the much awaited book Administrative Aspects of Critical Care. Critical care medicine has been practiced for decades in India and India being a developing country, a major concern is cost in intensive care unit (ICU). I must mention that there is a dearth of information available on this subject. So, it is nice to welcome this book. It has an impressive list of topics which are highlighting day-to-day administrative issues with special relevance and application in resource-limited settings.
I am sure this book will be useful tool to know different aspects of ICU administration.

fm11Preface
The current day Intensivist is not just a clinician. Our role extends to be a Team Leader and Manager, which requires skills in communication, negotiation, human capital and conflict management, budgeting and much more. While multi-tasking to achieve these goals, it is equally important to ensure work-life balance and prevent burnout of team members. While most of us acquire some or all of these skills on-the-job, it is essential to have structured learning on par with evidence-based scientific knowledge that we acquire. This book makes an effort to address some of these aspects of ICU management although by no means exhaustive. We aim to create structure modules and hopefully plan a short-term course to practically apply these concepts.
When I (APK) took over as the President of Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM), it was well established as a robust education hub for critical care training in India. We produced excellent doctors well founded in theory and pragmatic in their approach to the patient care. Unfortunately, the medical education in India, at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, does not prepare the clinician to face problems in other non-medical areas of patient care, such as communication with patients and families, dealing with non-paramedics on the team in the hospital staff and many other tasks. The vision for this small monograph comes from this basic problem. I therefore requested Dr Gupta and Dr Ramakrishnan, both active and resourceful members of the ISCCM and experts in their own right, of administrative aspects of critical care. They have taken to this task with admirable keen-ness and produced a small but important work in the area with the help of all authors. Hope you enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed putting it together. Last but not the least, despite my tenure being over, Dr Zirpe, the President, ISCCM, allowed me complete this assignment, my heart's desire, to whom many thanks are due!
