Pediatric intensive care units

Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) are specialized hospital areas dedicated to the care of critically ill infants, children, and adolescents. These units have advanced technology and specially trained medical staff, including pediatric intensivists and nurses, who monitor and treat patients with severe illnesses or injuries. PICUs provide comprehensive support for respiratory, cardiac, and other life-threatening conditions. With a focus on both medical and emotional needs, PICUs ensure that young patients receive intensive, personalized care in a safe environment, allowing for better monitoring and faster recovery compared to general pediatric wards.
