We envision that our doctors will positively impact the health of critically ill patients through their leadership, research contributions, and excellence in patient care.

We have three missions:

Patient Care: To improve the standard of practice and ensure the highest quality of care to patients in our hospitals.

Research: Pursue new knowledge through high-quality research that explores unanswered questions and challenges and refines previously established ideas on mechanisms of disease and clinical aspects of critical care medicine.

Education: Impart knowledge, instills excitement for learning, and translates and refines questions into focused areas of research for our trainees.

1- Diagnosis and management of complications of cardiovascular and pulmonary complications of liver diseases; electrolytes, trace elements, hematological and endocrinal disturbances in liver diseases and renal impairment in liver diseases.

2- Diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular and pulmonary complications of renal diseases and electrolytes, trace elements, hematological and endocrinal disturbances in renal diseases.

3- Pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of critically ill patients (either post –surgical or non surgical patients); cardiovascular and pulmonary complications in critically ill patients; renal and liver complications in critically ill patients and electrolytes , trace elements , hematological , metabolic and endocrinal disturbances in critically ill patients.

4- Evaluation of different ICU scoring systems in critically ill patients.


Our researches on cardiovascular complications of liver diseases concluded that:

1- Patients with liver cirrhosis or NAFLD should be evaluated for CVD risk and could be candidates not only for aggressive treatment of the liver disease, but also for aggressive treatment of underlying CVD risk factors; this would help to modify and potentially decrease the global CVD risk of these patients.

2- Tissue Doppler is more sensitive in diagnosing diastolic dysfunction and can better assess filling dynamics than can conventional Doppler.

    • It is important to evaluate cardiovascular function and filling dynamics in every patient with cirrhosis, especially if the patient is a candidate for any intervention that may affect haemodynamics.

3- Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis have low systemic vascular resistance and Doppler echocardiography provides an easy noninvasive tool to assess systemic vascular resistance.

    • Follow-up of SVR by Doppler echocardiography may be a predictor for severity of liver disease.
    • Measuring IVC diameter and collapsibility are of value in the prediction of intravascular fluid status in liver cirrhosis. This is especially true with renal dysfunction.

4-Hyponatremia is a common finding in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis indicates an advanced disease with severe cardiovascular dysfunction. It is associated with increased risk of hepatic encephalopathy, refractory ascites, illness severity scores, renal failure, infectious complications, and pleural effusion.

5- The echocardiographic assessment of EpFT and the carotid Doppler assessment of CIMT may provide appropriate and simple screening markers for subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus with and without cirrhosis.

    • Patients undergoing LT would likely benefit from echocardiographic assessment of EpFT and carotid Doppler for evaluation of CIMT in addition to stress testing to help identify those patients who are at high or low risk for cardiac outcomes in the LT.

6-It is important to understand the benefits and limitations of BNP as a heart failure biomarker in hepatic patients, where the relationship between BNP level and myocardial function is complex and is altered by the liver disease.

7-Elevated hs-cTnT level in cirrhotic patients can be considered one of the tools used to early diagnose subclinical myocardial necrosis and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy that can prevent adaptation to acute hemodynamic disturbance such as during liver transplantation or intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

Our researches on cardiovascular complications of renal diseases concluded that:

1-Measurementof CIMT by carotid ultrasound is noninvasive and relatively inexpensive and can be used in addition to echocardiogram repeatedly with no adverse effects to evaluate cardiovascular performance in hemodialysis patients.

2-Epicardial fat thickness which can be easily measured by Echocardiography is an effective marker for the prediction of cardiovascular disease risk in hemodialysis patients and is used as a surrogate marker of early atherosclerosis and was shown to be a strong predictor of future myocardial infarction and stroke.

3-CKD patients have high levels of TM, vWF, t-PA, PAI-1 that is correlated with hsCRP and CIMT. So, these abnormalities in hemostasis may account for the increased risk of atherothrombosis in these patients.

4- Inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are common pathological events in many diseases, including ischemic heart disease and chronic kidney disease. Thus, determining ways to block inflammatory cytokines may provide a vital approach for preventing, or at least retarding, the progression of such diseases.

5- FGF-23 could represent a promising therapeutic target that might improve the fatal prognosis of patients with CKD.

6-Hemodialysis patients with a low s-Klotho were more often associated with increased CIMT, LV dysfunction, and CAD, and it seems that there was an independent association between s-Klotho and CIMT, LVEF, and CAD.

Our researches on sepsis concluded that:

1-BNP level correlates with the severity of sepsis.

  • Atrial ejection force in the third day maybe a good predictor for survival of patients presenting with sepsis.

2- sepsis carries a high risk of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and death in critically ill patients.

  • PIRO score is an effective model for staging of sepsis and seems to be predictive of mortality.
  • Measuring serial procalcitonin levels may be the most useful to understand the trend, identify the peak, and be able to identify resolution of sepsis.
  • Early high lactate level is a predictor for poor prognosis of sepsis.
  • Adiponectin is similar to procalcitonin in early detection of sepsis and can be used as a prognostic indicator with considering that adiponectin level could be affected by other metabolic disorders.

Our researches on the effect of the abdominal perfusion pressure on visceral circulation in critically ill patients with multiorgan dysfunction concluded that:

1- Considering APP as a measure of visceral perfusion instead of IAP alone if feasible. Avoiding extensive positive fluid balance and deal seriously with fluid overload.

Our researches on scanning of electron microscopic Biofilm grading and ventilator associated pneumonia in relation to duration of intubation concluded that:

1- Biofilm formation and grading as well as bacterial colonization with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria were time dependent in patients on mechanical ventilation in ICU which may enhance their morbidity and mortality rates.

  • Also a role of ETT biofilm is emphasized in the pathogenesis and prognostic outcome of VAP in patients intubated for a prolonged period.
