RESUMO
Dengue is one of the commonest causes of undifferentiated acute febrile illness in India as well as South East Asia. Nearly two-fifths of the world population is at risk of infection, and nearly 96 million infections reported worldwide, it is a major cause of concern across the globe. The ISCCM leadership felt that there have been no new directives/guidelines except the MOH guidelines for the management of dengue fever since 2014. Under the auspices of the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM), an expert group of 14 intensivists from across the country, was formed. The task force members formulated questions that needed to be answered. These questions were validated by the members of ISCCM attending research conclave 2023. All the members systematically searched PubMed, MEDLINE, and Science Direct for original articles on different aspects of dengue management between January 1, 2000, and July 1, 2023. From the collected articles, duplicates were removed. Based on the evidence collected, the expert group members prepared statements/answers to the questions. Since most of the evidence is of moderate to low quality, a consensus was generated amongst the members of the task force. Each statement was agreed upon by 70% of the task force. The statements presented in the article are consensus statements as answers to queries raised. How to cite this article: Bhalla A, Singh H, Suri V, Yaddanapudi L, Poddar B, Ghawat R, et al.

RESUMO
Stenting of hepatic veins can be a long lasting solution for Budd-Chiari syndrome. These stents could very rarely migrate into the right atrium. During surgical retrieval, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can be avoided if vena caval inflow occlusion (VCIO) is used. A hybrid alternative of VCIO by using a balloon to occlude the inferior vena cava was done to retrieve the stent thus avoiding CPB and total circulatory arrest.
