Pediatric ICU Care


The PICU is the section of the hospital that provides sick children with the highest level of medical care. It differs from other parts of the hospital, like the general medical floors.
In the PICU, kids get intensive nursing care and close monitoring of things like heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.
The PICU also lets medical staff provide therapies that might not be available in other parts of the hospital. These can include ventilators (breathing machines) and medicines that are used only under close medical supervision.


Kids go to the PICU if they are seriously ill, need intensive care, and have medical needs that can’t be met on the hospital’s main medical floors. This might include kids with severe breathing problems from asthma, serious infections, some complications of diabetes, or those involved in a serious automobile accident or near-drowning.
Sometimes, kids who were stable enough to be cared for on the hospital’s medical-surgical floors move to the PICU if they become more acutely ill. After major surgery, many children get care in the PICU for several days.
How long kids stay in the PICU depends on their condition. Some might stay a single day, while others stay for weeks or even months.
As always, ask the doctor or nurse caring for your child if you have questions.
