Critical care is a type of care for children who have illnesses or injuries that require a close and constant watch by a team of specially trained caregivers. Children who need critical care are treated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Children's Health℠. Our team not only includes physicians, but also nurses, respiratory therapists and other caregivers who work together to ensure that your child has access to any type of care at a moment's notice.
