Ville Pettila is an Intensivist based in Commercial Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004. He works in the kind of care where patients need close monitoring and quick treatment, often in critical situations.
His day-to-day work can include emergencies such as cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and heart attacks. He also looks after people who are very unwell from conditions like sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and low blood pressure. In many cases, this means staying calm, acting fast, and working with the wider hospital team to stabilise things.
Intensive care doesn’t only mean one problem at a time. At times, patients may have complications such as blood clots or venous thromboembolism (VTE), or they may develop issues with blood clotting like disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). He also manages serious brain and trauma-related problems, including cerebral hypoxia and traumatic brain injury.
Ville’s practice covers a range of shock and circulation problems too. That can include cardiogenic shock, where the heart isn’t pumping well, as well as situations linked with hypothermia. He may also be involved when there are severe infections, including flu and H1N1 influenza, especially when breathing or blood pressure becomes unstable.
There are also times when digestive and other urgent issues show up in intensive care. For example, he may be involved with acute pancreatitis and hereditary pancreatitis, and with bullae in skin and blistering conditions. Even vitamin D deficiency can come up as part of a longer health plan, although it’s usually not the main focus during an emergency.
