Pediatric Intensive Care

16 Pediatric Intensive Care: A Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (commonly referred to as PICU) is a specialized section within a hospital dedicated to providing care for critically ill infants, children, adolescents, and young adults aged from 0 to 21 years old. Typically overseen by pediatric intensivists or PICU consultants, these units are staffed by healthcare professionals including doctors, nurses, and respiratory therapists who possess additional training and expertise in pediatric critical care. Additionally, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physiotherapists, social workers, child life specialists, and clerks may also contribute to the multidisciplinary team, although their presence may vary depending on geographical location. Given the severity of conditions and potential for life-threatening complications, the ratio of staff to patients in the PICU is often higher compared to other hospital departments. Sophisticated technologies and equipment, such as mechanical ventilators and advanced patient monitoring systems, are frequently utilized to manage complex medical needs
