How Our Pediatric ICU Works

• Admission: Children are admitted to the Pediatric ICU based on medical need, usually following a referral from the Emergency Department, their primary pediatrician, or a specialist. Admission is determined by the severity of the child’s condition and the level of care required.
• Treatment Plan: Once admitted, our pediatric intensivists and specialists develop a personalized treatment plan based on the child’s condition, which is regularly updated as their condition evolves.
• Ongoing Monitoring: In the Pediatric ICU, continuous monitoring of vital signs and critical parameters is essential. This allows us to make immediate adjustments to treatment and respond quickly to any changes in the child’s health.
• Family Involvement: We recognize the importance of family presence and involvement in the care process. Parents are encouraged to be present during their child’s care, receive regular updates, and ask questions about their child’s treatment and recovery plan.
• Discharge and Recovery: Once the child’s condition stabilizes, they are transferred to a general pediatric ward or discharged home with the necessary follow-up care instructions. A comprehensive recovery plan is shared with parents and caregivers to ensure the best possible recovery outcomes.
