Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Dr. K. Sasidaran is one of Chennai’s most exceptionally qualified Paediatric Intensive Care specialists, practising at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals. His credential profile is extraordinarily rare, combining a DM in Paediatric Critical Care, a Fellowship in Paediatric Nephrology (FIPNA), a European EBMT Diploma in Bone Marrow Transplantation, and a postgraduate diploma in Medical Law and Ethics (PGDMLB). Very few paediatric specialists in India, or indeed globally, bring together expertise across critical care, nephrology, stem cell transplantation, and rare disease management under a single clinical practice.
Dr. Sasidaran’s DM in Paediatric Critical Care is the highest subspecialty qualification available in the field, and his IDPCCM (Indian Diploma in Paediatric Critical Care Medicine) further underscores his mastery of managing the most critically ill children. His FIPNA fellowship in Paediatric Nephrology adds specialised kidney care expertise, critical for managing children with multi-organ failure in the PICU. Most distinctively, his European EBMT Diploma in Bone Marrow Transplantation reflects advanced, internationally recognised training in stem cell transplantation and cellular therapies, a subspecialty with transformative potential for children with blood disorders, immune deficiencies, and rare metabolic diseases.
Families across Chennai and South India seeking expert care for a critically ill child, a child with a rare disease, a child requiring stem cell transplantation, or complex PICU management can trust Dr. K. Sasidaran at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals to provide world-class, evidence-based, and compassionate care at the highest level of paediatric medicine.
Rare Disease Diagnosis & Management
Dr. Sasidaran brings exceptional expertise in identifying and managing rare and ultra-rare diseases in children — including inborn errors of metabolism, primary immune deficiencies, lysosomal storage disorders, mitochondrial diseases, and rare haematological conditions. His cross-disciplinary training in critical care, nephrology, and transplantation enables him to manage rare diseases that affect multiple organ systems simultaneously, often in life-threatening presentations.
Critical Care Nephrology
Drawing on both his DM in Paediatric Critical Care and his FIPNA fellowship in Paediatric Nephrology, Dr. Sasidaran is uniquely positioned to manage kidney failure in critically ill children. His expertise covers acute kidney injury (AKI) in the PICU, continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), peritoneal dialysis in critically ill neonates and children, and management of multi-organ dysfunction with renal involvement.
Critical Care for Children (Paediatric Intensive Care)
Comprehensive management of all categories of life-threatening illness in children in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) — including septic shock, respiratory failure, post-operative critical care, traumatic brain injury, status epilepticus, metabolic emergencies, and multi-organ failure. Dr. Sasidaran’s DM and IDPCCM qualifications ensure protocol-driven, evidence-based intensive care for even the most complex paediatric cases.
Stem Cell Transplantation & Cellular Therapy
As a holder of the European EBMT (European Bone Marrow Transplantation Society) Diploma in Bone Marrow Transplantation, Dr. Sasidaran is trained to international standards in haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and emerging cellular therapies. This includes transplantation for haematological malignancies (leukaemia, lymphoma), non-malignant blood disorders (thalassaemia, aplastic anaemia, sickle cell disease), primary immunodeficiencies, and selected inherited metabolic diseases — positioning Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals as a destination for advanced paediatric transplant care in Chennai.
