Most of these medical devices such as CAT scanners, dialysis machines, etc. are set by the critical care technologists. In case of any malfunction or error in such machines, the critical care technologist repairs as well as performs maintenance checks and calibrations, if required.

On finishing this course you are easily placed in the critical care industry. You work in hospitals in ICUs, emergency rooms, trauma centres and similar healthcare settings requiring emergency and critical care. Hospitals working in both the private and public sector will be in need of your services. Other places to look for employment are government hospitals, military hospitals, railway hospitals and so on. You can undertake a post graduate program like M.Sc in critical care technology. You may also get to do research work in the field by opting for a doctoral program.
