Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
The severe condition of a child can make parents extremely worried. To gain control over the child’s illness, the doctor may admit them to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Understanding how a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit works can help reduce some of the stress during your child’s admission.
What Is a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit?
A Pediatric Intensive Care Unit is a hospital department that provides a high level of medical care. This unit is very different from other general medical sections. In this section, a child’s condition is monitored frequently by nurses and doctors. They closely check important aspects such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.

– Autoimmune disease
– Complex surgery
– Medication overdose
– Food poisoning
Who Takes Care of the Children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit?
Highly skilled and experienced staff members take care of children in the PICU. The nurses in this department are trained to care for the sickest children in the hospital. Depending on the child’s condition, other specialists may also be involved so that the best care is provided to every child.
Pharmacists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists are also available to provide complete medical support to critically ill children.
