PICU stands for Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. It is a specialized medical unit within a hospital that provides intensive care for critically ill infants, children, and adolescents. The PICU is equipped with advanced medical technology and staffed by healthcare professionals with expertise in pediatric critical care. Children admitted to the PICU may have severe illnesses, injuries, or complex medical conditions that require close monitoring, specialized treatments, and constant attention from a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers. The goal of the PICU is to stabilize and care for critically ill pediatric patients until they can be transferred to a regular pediatric unit or discharged after improvement.
