Critical Care Management

Pediatric intensivists manage critically ill and injured children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and throughout their hospitalization. They specialize in treating:

  • trauma
  • septic shock
  • respiratory failure
  • cardiovascular instability
  • severe metabolic problems

Our pediatric clinical expertise includes:

  • high frequency ventilation
  • intra-cranial pressure monitoring
  • bronchoscopy
  • pulmonary artery catheter monitoring

We regularly consult with all other subspecialists. Referring physicians receive regular updates of the child's condition via telephone. Once discharged, children are sent back to the referring physician.
