Critical Care Medicine

Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) treats infants who have life-threatening conditions after discharge from the newborn nursery or NICU through adolescence. Pediatric intensivists undergo post-residency training covering all forms of pediatric intensive care.

Conditions treated

Conditions treated include all those requiring intensive monitoring such as:

• Severe shock

• Asthma

• Seizures

• Trauma

• Respiratory failure

• Children with special needs who are on chronic life support

Patients who require deep sedation for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures also are cared for by pediatric intensivists.
