The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is a hospital ward specialized in providing critical, round-the-clock care to seriously ill or injured children, from infants to adolescents, who need close monitoring and advanced life support. It's staffed by pediatric intensivists, specially trained nurses, and respiratory therapists equipped to manage conditions like respiratory failure, severe infections, and post-surgical recovery. Working in a PICU requires expertise in pediatric physiology and high-acuity emergency response.
