What is a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)?
A PICU is a specialized hospital unit designed to care for children with serious or life-threatening conditions.
Children may need PICU care for:
- Severe infections or sepsis
- Breathing difficulties
- Heart conditions
- Complications after surgery
- Trauma or accidents
- Neurological emergencies
- Organ failure
In the PICU, children receive continuous monitoring, advanced treatments, and expert supervision 24/7. Early intensive care improves survival, reduces complications, and supports faster recovery.
