Pediatric Critical Care Medicine

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine is a specialized field of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of severely ill or injured children. This area of medicine involves the use of advanced technology and medical interventions to support the vital functions of young patients, often in an intensive care unit (ICU). Pediatric intensivists—doctors trained specifically in this field—work with a team to provide comprehensive care for children experiencing life-threatening conditions, such as respiratory failure, severe infections, or traumatic injuries. The goal is to stabilize these patients, provide ongoing monitoring, and guide their recovery.
