Behind every successful organ transplant is a transplant intensivist working silently in the ICU.
From pre-transplant stabilisation to critical post-operative care, they manage the most vulnerable moments of a patient’s journey.
Their expertise ensures graft protection, infection control, and balanced immunosuppression.
They bridge surgical excellence with advanced critical care.
In this blog, Dr Mansi Dandnaik, Consultant Critical Care & Transplant Intensivist, explains the role of intensivists in transplant success.
Because successful transplants need more than surgery — they need specialised intensive care.
A transplant intensivist is a physician who combines expertise in critical care medicine with specialised knowledge of transplant surgery and immunology.
