Critical Condition: When Should You Rush to the Hospital? Dr Sanket Makwana | Sava Aayush hospital

What does “critical condition” actually mean? When should breathlessness become an emergency? What happens when oxygen levels drop? When does a patient need ICU care? And is a ventilator really the “last stage”? Dr. Sanket Makwana is the Director of Aayush Hospitals, Surendranagar Unit, and an MBBS, MD (Medicine), Consultant Physician & Critical Care Specialist. With experience in managing complex medical and critical care situations, he brings a practical, patient-focused perspective to emergency medicine, critical care and preventive health. In this full episode of Medvyn: Stories of Healing and Hustle, we take a clear look at critical care and the decisions that matter when a patient’s condition suddenly becomes serious. The conversation covers: What “critical condition” means in simple terms • Warning signs that require immediate medical attention • When breathlessness needs emergency care • What happens inside the body when oxygen levels fall • When and why ICU admission may be required • How critical care doctors assess patients minute-by-minute • How 24-hour ICU monitoring can help detect deterioration early • Why being put on a ventilator does not always mean “last stage” • Why sedation may be used in the ICU • How an infection can progress to sepsis • What sepsis can do to vital organs when treatment is delayed • Why the Golden Hour matters in critical care • Three mistakes families should avoid during an emergency Critical care is not just about machines and ICU beds. It is about recognising danger early, making the right decisions quickly and giving the patient the right care at the right time. Watch the full podcast on Medvyn YouTube.
