These situations may result from very serious disease, infection or injury sustained from trauma, such as a traumatic brain injury.
Critically ill children stay in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), a dedicated area of the hospital with sophisticated technologies and highly trained staff who specialize in treating children in serious or critical condition.
The PICU care team is made up of intensivists, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, Child Life specialists, social workers, pastoral staff and dietitians - all working together to provide round-the-clock treatment for our young patients.
