3 From the Desk of the President Dear Colleagues and Friends, I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year and a great year ahead. It gives me great pleasure to inform you that ISCCM Day celebration on 27th November 2010 was a great success. I congratulate Dr. Manish Munjal, the chief coordinator of this programme and all the members who worked very hard to make this possible. Since there have been changes in the ACLS guidelines, the theme this year was decided to be "Learn CPR to save lives". On this day, Basic Life Support demonstrations were performed at about 100 locations across the country. These demonstrations were done for both medical personnel and general public at large. I am extremely pleased to share with you that the demonstrations attracted an overall good participation and it was quite a successful experience for everyone. You will be delighted to know that the INDICAPS study is progressing well. The third data entry will be in January 2011. I sincerely thank all the members who have participated in this landmark study and look forward to your continuous support in this marvellous endeavour.

This aim of MOSER study is to find out the incidence of ICU-related infections (VAP, CAUTI and CRBSI) in India and to explore the microbiology, resistance and treatment patterns of these infections.site selection is complete. Data entry will start in March-April 2011. As you know that the election of the society from the next year onwards will be through electronic mail. The date of the election will be in the first week of August 2011. Adequate confidentiality and security will be maintained by the webmaster through the design of the programme.

As President of SCCM, my focus will be to break down the borders and boundaries in our thinking about Critical Care delivery to our patients, about training our workforce, and about relationships with our members and partners around the world.

One of our greatest strengths is providing educational resources to our colleagues. At the SCCM Critical Care Congress in January, we debuted a new version of our web-based learning portal, LearnICU. This new system brings together knowledge and networking focused on improving Critical Care delivery around the world. We continue to encourage the use of the Fundamental Critical Care Support courses in India and would love to hear how these courses have helped in your hospitals.

13 Guest Author's Page - Trauma and Critical Care Preparedness Without a doubt, India is on an upward trajectory in a number of areas: firing its soon to be successful first indigenous cryogenic rocket into space, mastering satellite technology, developing state-of-the-art supersonic-guided missile systems, boasting impressive economic growth at a time of ongoing global crises, and ostensibly existing as IT super power. But, there is one area that India is sadly lagging behind: In the area of disaster response, emergency preparedness and particularly trauma care response. Are we really doing our best? Earlier this year The Hindu on April 11, 2010, published an article Trauma system in India leaves much to be desired. The article discussed briefly current security threat in India and the need for combined civilian military trauma systems for India s counter terrorism response in both naxal-hit and other terrorist hot bed activity areas. The ongoing naxal violence and the bomb blasts, which have become common occurrences in the past few years in India, serve as a grim reminder of our deplorable inadequacies in providing basic trauma care for the injured and potentially salvable lives. This article aims to highlight some of the measures that India needs to take immediately. Although the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) should have been slated to be in place after the December 2001 Parliament attack, it may now happen by the end of 2010. However, it can scarcely compensate for negligence that has existed for a decade, unfolding in recent events, such as the recent Dantewada and Mumbai terrorist attack, which sorely highlighted India s unpreparedness in dealing with trauma care in times of crises. The establishment of the NCTC creation is a first step in the right direction because it serves as a much needed meeting point for key units such as the intelligence agencies, department of defense, health, home, science and technology, energy, agriculture and finance. For every month and year we lose, in taking appropriate steps to modernize our trauma care facilities and disaster response infrastructure, our economic growth suffers and precious lives are lost, while local and state governments are thrown into disarray. To reach and even exceed the 10% economic growth that India desires, it must look to not just curbing the constant terrorist menace, but also ensuring that an efficient trauma and disaster response system is in place to save lives and economic costs. The role and jurisdiction of the health wing must be clearly defined under the NCTC. For instance, a prudent first step would be to set up combined civil military trauma centers in all seven states hit by naxals as well as terrorists in J&K. To accomplish this, all three armed force divisions would be required to establish strategic trauma centers that would serve in multi-dimensional capacities to cater to short-term and long-term needs in any war, conflict, or large-scale natural disaster. The focus of the initial phase should be on those states that suffer the most from terrorist activities with an eventual goal to establish two or three of these centers in each state, with small states having at least one civil military trauma center. The armed forces and central government should have equal responsibility for the workforce contribution of this central government run and supported project. The Pan Indian blueprint creation with leadership and organizational administration should be under the command of the NCTC health department wing. The view of trauma care in disasters as more of the same is a dangerous misconception. During a mass casualty event, trauma teamwork and decision making differ fundamentally from everyday trauma practice because a heavy casualty load has a profound effect on the way trauma care is delivered in the emergency department, operating room, or surgical ICU. I cannot emphasize enough from the Dantewada mass casualty event the important role that rescue Chinook helicopters could have played in the golden hours that would have helped the injured and may even have saved a few precious lives. We need combined civil military trauma centers equipped with air evacuation, heliports, search rescue triage missions, accompanied by light combat helicopters in kill zones to be conducted by military and available on demand 24 7. Mass casualty events require that we strive for the greatest good for the greatest number to maximize casualty survival. For this, we would have to expand our defense budget and health care budget. But, isn t that the need of the hour? China has double the budget spending compared to ours in both these sectors. Identification of strategic sites in terms of states has to be conducted immediately where these combined civil military trauma centers can be created. Similarly, construction of these centers has to be undertaken simultaneously in different states, as one or two centers alone would not be able to provide efficient and adequate care in a mass casualty event when 50 100 severely injured patients with high-velocity missiles arrive at the hospital together. In fact, a large trauma center with 250 ICU beds can also get overwhelmed with more than 10 15 severely injured patients if arriving simultaneously. We have to achieve numbers higher than this for each of our trauma centers in order for them to be functional for many years to come. Responding to a full-scale disaster is a great Saurabh Jain MD challenge for any hospital and its medical staff. An effective disaster response requires structured cooperation and communication throughout the institution. Resources and a workforce of physician specialists should be increased in all three wings of armed forces. Moreover, existing UPSC medical service cadres have to be increased in sub-specialties and not just in primary care. Another important aspect is to create a large manpower of mid-level providers trained in planning and preparedness for different levels of trauma care and disaster response. This is where the HRD ministry can make a difference by bringing in new certificate, associate, BA and MA courses from abroad to our colleges in areas such as emergency medicine technical training, disaster management, counterterrorism, air warfare, asymmetrical warfare, cyber crime studies, and homeland security. We should not forget that time and again in India, hospitals also have been targeted by terrorists. Few fresh examples at Coimbatore on Feb 2006, at Ahmadabad on July and Oct 2008 and at Mumbai on Nov 2008. Therefore, foolproof security strategies for these centers must be factored into the plan. Awareness is the first step, followed by communication among emergency physicians, medical directors, hospitals administrators, hospital security directors, local law enforcement officers, and military police for planning and preparedness. These combined civil military trauma centers would then become state-of-the-art centers for higher specialization training of surgeons in Trauma, Acute Care, and Surgical Critical Care. Given the past terrorist activities occurring on the Indian soil, we remain largely unprepared for their most common form: conventional explosive events. Car bombs, terrorist shootings, and IED blasts are some examples for which we need trained surgeons who have encountered these unique injuries. There is a need for hundreds of multispecialty trauma and burn centers in India and must be the backbone of our nation s trauma and disaster response system for further large-scale terrorist events. By combining the casualty care and trauma systems expertise of the Indian military with the existing expertise at civilian trauma and burn centers, we can improve the care of all injured patients in our country, regardless of whether the injuries are caused by everyday traumatic events such as motor-vehicle crashes, by natural disaster, or by terrorist attacks.

RNLS Prasad Varanasi It was 8 th October 1993 when 15 enthusiastic Physicians/ Anaesthetists and other doctors, interested in Critical Care sat together and decided to form ISCCM.Thus ISCCM was born. It was their initiative and effort what ISCCM is today. Therefore, in all fitness of things it was decided to celebrate this day every year as ISCCM day and dedicate it to the founders of ISCCM. However, this year ISCCM day fell during the Common Wealth Games. Therefore it was decided to postpone it to 27 th November 2010. I had the honour and privilege of carrying out the responsibility with help of my committee colleagues in the most desired manner. I tried my best to have a fruitful celebration of the ISCCM day. On this day, this year we decided to do Basic Life Support demonstration ( 2010 guidelines) for medical personal and general public all over the country Theme floated by the PRESIDENT was LEARN CPR TO SAVE LIVES With the help & good wishes of all the members of ISCCM this day was a grand success, At more then 150 places our collegues conducted/demonstrated BLS for Doctors, Nurses, Hospital staff members, drivers, Security personnels, Students & general public.
